My Go-to Chickpea Salad

simple chickpea salad

I try to eat a little lighter at lunch and this is definitely my go-to salad. I actually eat this salad a few times a week.

My favourite foods are the ones that are easy to make, which is why I love this recipe. This salad literally takes no more than 5 minutes to make.

It is full of flavour, thanks to the whole grain mustard. 

You may read the list of ingredients and say “mustard??” Don't get me wrong, this is not the yellow mustard you put on your hot dog or hamburger. This mustard is the actual mustard seeds pickled in vinegar to give it a tangy taste - and taste amazing!! There is no need for a dressing or vinaigrette - the whole grain mustard is the dressing.

The whole grain mustard goes so well with chickpeas and tomatoes - trust me!

This salad is perfect on its own or as a side to your favourite meal. The protein packed chickpeas will keep you feeling full for a while - which means less mid-afternoon snacking on candy or chips!

I also love to  make this salad when the girls come over. It's fresh and so healthy! Trust me, once you try this, it will be heavy on your rotation.
