Zesty Mediterranean Chickpea Salad is a refreshing, no-cook dish built around chickpeas, fresh vegetables, and a bright lemon-olive oil dressing. Light yet filling, it delivers plant-based protein and clean flavours, making it ideal for warm-weather meals, healthy lunches, or simple sides.
Rinse and drain the boiled chickpeas well. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion. Chop fresh parsley and mint. Preparing everything evenly ensures balanced flavour in every bite.
