Chickpea Salad is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish celebrated for its Mediterranean roots. This wholesome salad typically combines tender chickpeas, crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, red onion, fresh parsley, and a zesty dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, and optional seasonings like garlic or paprika. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, chickpeas serve as the star ingredient, promoting satiety and supporting digestive health. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while fresh vegetables provide a rich array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Gluten-free and naturally low in calories, it fits well into vegetarian, vegan, or weight-conscious diets. However, higher sodium ingredients like feta cheese or canned chickpeas should be moderated for those watching salt intake. Deliciously versatile, Chickpea Salad makes for a nutrient-dense meal or side dish that honors the simple yet robust flavors of Mediterranean cuisine.
