Notes

Watch the Video Recipe: For a better understanding of the recipe steps, I highly recommend watching the video tutorial.
Chickpeas: This recipe calls for canned chickpeas, if you preffer raw chickpeas, follow these steps: place the chickpeas in a large bowl, cover them with cold water and let soak in the fridge overnight, then rinse soaked chickpeas under cold water, place in a large pot, cover with water and cook until soft.
Meal Prep: Make a big batch and store in individual portions. Change the flavors throughout the week by adding different proteins, dressings, or toppings.
Make it Vegan: You easily can make this chickpea salad vegan by removing the cheese from the recipe. The cheese gives a nice flavor to the salad, but even without the cheese the salad will taste great.
Protein Boost: Mix in tofu, grilled chicken, shrimp, canned tuna, or hard-boiled egg whites for extra protein. You can also swap some chickpeas with edamame or white beans.
Storage Tips: Store the salad in an airtight containerin the fridge for up to 1-2 days.
