Notes
Make sure you
rinse the canned chickpeas
before using.
If you don’t like feta, you can switch it to another type of cheese. Try
baby bocconcini, grilled halloumi cubes or marinated goat cheese.
For a
vegan/dairy free option
, substitute feta with your favourite vegan brand or omit it.
You can use
dried chickpeas
and cook them as per instructions. For one can of chickpeas, use ½ cup of dried chickpeas.
If you don’t have parsley, switch for
basil, mint, dill
or even a combination of your favourite herbs.
When meal prepping ahead of time,
store salad in an airtight container
in fridge but leave the feta out until ready to serve.
This simple chickpea recipe is flexible enough for you to replace or add other ingredients like
olives, avocado, red onion or capers
.
