Chickpea Salad

This Chickpea Salad with garlic Parmesan vinaigrette is a light and fresh salad with garbanzo beans, lettuce, tomatoes, corn and onion. Perfect quick and easy lunch or a side dish to a light meal!

I have been on a salad craze lately. I am obsessed with this BLT Pasta Salad and my Black Bean Taco Salad. Now this Easy Chickpea Salad joins the club.

Chickpeas are my favorite to use in salads, right next to black beans. I keep them for soups and chilis. But chickpeas are welcome in my salad bowl for another reason: my kiddos love them! They do not have a strong bean-y flavor, they look different and fun and are not as mushy as other beans. They are high in fiber and protein. The simple vinaigrette features my favorite savory flavor combo: garlic and Parmesan. I use it in rolls, roasted baby carrots and corn on the cob. It’s my favorite and now I can enjoy it in a salad dressing form.
