Have you tried chickpeas before? Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a versatile legume with a slightly nutty and mild flavor. They are the main ingredient used in hummus, but can also be used in salads and stews. Chickpeas are a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and vitamins, such as folate, vitamin B6, and iron. This makes them a great addition to a wide range of eating patterns, including a kidney-friendly diet.
This chickpea salad recipe will make a quick and easy lunch for one person. The recipe can easily be scaled up to make more servings and serve multiple people. The recipe gets its flavor from diced red onion, celery, and a variety of seasonings that can be added to taste. It all comes together with just a little mayonnaise.
You can use a plant-based mayonnaise to make the recipe completely vegan. You could also substitute the mayonnaise by using Greek yogurt if you prefer.
I love to eat this chickpea salad on a piece of toast as an open-faced sandwich, however you can also eat it straight out of the bowl with some crackers! This is a great lunch idea that can be served with a side of fresh fruit to make it a complete meal.
