Quick Lunch Idea: No Fuss Chickpea Salad


This recipe is easy and quick and can be made a day or two before hand.  This is the combination of veggies I love, but you can make it your own by adding more or less.  Apple cider vinegar also goes well with chickpeas.  Add lentils for a great protein kick :) 




  • 1 can of cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 of a small red onion (diced)
  • 1/2 of a small red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1/2 of an English cucumber (diced)
  • 1/2 of a small yellow bell pepper (diced)
  • A handful of cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 2 tbsp. of red wine vinegar
  • 1 ½ tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste  

Combine veggies and chickpeas in a bowl.  Wisk vinegar and olive oil together and use to dress salad adding red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
