Chickpea Salad for a Healthy Lunch

Chickpea Salad in a thin whole wheat pita with fruit on the side for a quick healthy lunch.

Healthy lunches can be challenging when you are trying to come up with new ideas so that your lunches aren’t boring. It becomes even more challenging when you are vegetarian, vegan, or just want to eat less meat.

Here is a great healthy lunch option that is made with chickpeas and that is full of fiber, protein, and flavor. As a bonus, depending on what mayonnaise you use, it is also gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and nut free.

This yummy healthy lunch is vegan and loaded with flavor and fiber.

You can use this in many different ways. Just a few great options for a healthy lunch are in a sandwich, in a pita pocket, in a lettuce leaf wrap, or as a dip for chips.

This only makes roughly 2 servings so you may want to double it. It will last in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Every time I make this for my son when he is home, I double the recipe and he has it gone the next day. It is defiantly a lunch favorite at our house.

I also serve it in a commercial kitchen that I work in from time to time. I always make a large amount and every time I make it every bit is gone and I get frequently asked for the recipe.

I hope you enjoy this Chickpea Salad for a healthy lunch or anytime.
