Simple Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

Food & Drink

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’ve got another embarrassingly easy recipe for y’all! Welcome to this super simple Mediterranean chickpea salad. Yum!

This is the salad I turn to when I’ve got very little time and am looking for a boost of goodness. Chickpeas are jam-packed with protein, and if you’re on the lookout for more meatless meals, these babies are your best friend! Regularly including these little guys in your meals can have a real impact on your health.

A super healthy food

These special members of the legume family come packed with nutrients and are a great source of fibre and, like I already mentioned above, protein! Because they’re high in fibre and protein, they keep you feeling fuller longer. Do you know what that means?! You’re less likely to be snacking on unhealthy temptations throughout the day! And as someone who gets indulgent cravings, this is a Plus Plus for me!

Chickpeas may also help manage your blood sugar levels, help your digestion, and protect against heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

A no-fuss, affordable addition

What’s even better is chickpeas can be eaten in a variety of ways – and I enjoy all of them! They make for a no-fuss, affordable, convenient addition to any recipe.  

  • In hummus? Yes, please!
  • As a crunchy roasted lil snack? Uh, heck yes!
  • In soups and salads? Yummers!
  • Hot or cold? You guessed it!

And the list goes on…

Because of how versatile and accessible chickpeas are, they are a great place to start if you’re new to this whole “taking better care of yourself” thing. It couldn’t be easier to pick up a few cans of chickpeas on your way home from work and make yourself a healthy meal. Feeding your body the nutrients it needs is a major part of this whole self-care thing I keep talking about. After all, physical self-care is important and shouldn’t be overlooked!

You only need 9 ingredients

I used canned chickpeas for this recipe because it’s just easier. However, you can absolutely use dried ones if that’s what you prefer. I realize canned chickpeas are not AS nutritious as dried ones, but my thinking is this – I’d much rather be eating ANY chickpeas than none at all!  

A tip when buying your canned chickpeas ⇾ look for low- or no-sodium options.

Besides the star of the show, this recipe uses eight other ingredients, all which you’ll likely already have at home.

You’ll need some:

  • kalamata olives

Now, for the fun part
