Creamy chickpea salad is a light and nutritious salad perfect for a vegetarian picnic on a summer afternoon. Just toss together some chickpeas with a few other ingredients and you have a quick and easy chickpea (garbanzo bean) salad. You could also stuff these chickpeas into a pita pocket for a healthy vegetarian sandwich.

Ingredients:

  • 1 16 ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh minced parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped onion
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Mix the chickpeas and the celery. Add the remaining ingredients and season to taste.

Serve in pita pockets or as an individual salad.

Easy summer salad, Member Lesley007

I like this recipe. I added a crisp, peeled apple cut into smallish cubes for added crunch and nutrition and served the dish as a salad.
