Quick, easy chickpea salad is a bright, light refreshing bean salad. It only takes a few minutes to make.

This salad couldn't be easier to make. You will only need one bowl to make the salad too!

I love keeping a few cans of chickpeas in the pantry. There are so many different ways that you you can use chickpeas. The beans are a great source of plant-protein and versatile. From hummus, burgers, to salads there are so many great ways to incorporate chickpeas into your weekly meal plan.

As a busy mom, I am always looking for easy lunches that are healthy and higher on the protein side. On the weekends, I love meal prepping few dishes like this easy vegan salad.

This way I know that I have a few healthy meals waiting for me in the fridge.

I love that this salad can be made ahead of time too. If you making the chickpea salad ahead of time, store the salad in an air-tight container in the refrigerator up to three days.

Before serving, I like to give the chickpea salad a good stir. If the salad appears to dry, I will add a little bit of olive oil or vinegar.
