This tangy chickpea salad is the perfect dish to take for a potluck BBQ or to store in the fridge for an easy side dish throughout the week.
If you're looking for a quick and delicious side to throw together, our Tangy Chickpea Salad is a perfect choice!
I suggest making this side dish ahead of time – I promise it tastes even better when it has time to sit and chill in the fridge.
In a rush? That's fine too! It's delicious right after it's tossed together.
How to Make Tangy Chickpea Salad
Peel, prep, and chop all your veggies.
In a large bowl mash half of the chickpeas. Don't mash too many as you want lots of texture.
Add the veggies into the bowl with the chickpeas and mix.
In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the dressing, whisking well.
Pour the dressing over the chickpea salad and mix until everything is coated.
Refrigerate until ready to serve (at least thirty minutes or up to one day).
