It’s a rainy Wednesday afternoon, perfect for a cozy dinner, unfortunately, my kids are away and I was too comfortable to cook anything for myself. I decided to make a simple chickpea salad which I paired with some leftover baked chicken. Although simple, this salad was delicious and filling.
Chickpea salad
Ingredients
1 15 1/2-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
½ bell red pepper
2 tsp dried basil
1 tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, pressed
1/3 cup Feta cheese
1tsp honey sriracha seasoning
Salt and Pepper
Preparation
Combine the chickpeas, the red pepper, the basil, the chopped parsley, fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, the pressed garlic clove, and the honey sriracha in a medium bowl. Add the Feta cheese and toss gently to blend all ingredients thoroughly. Season the chickpea salad to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
It can be served chilled or room temperature.
How is your week going so far? Do you cook when you are alone? Remember to share your thoughts with me.
I usually prepare chickpea with coconut. This seems to be yummy! I am gonna try it today. Thanks for the recipe.

I’m such a sucker for chickpeas!! I’ll definitely try this when I buy some more since I ate them all yesterday haha
I am joining your club, Shantel!
Looks nice. Worth trying. My week is going well thankfully but I’ve been stressed too. And yes, sometimes I cook when I’m alone. Thanks for asking and sharing.
Thank you, Viano!
Looks awesome
It is!
Sometime it feel so beautiful when the kids are away, you have all the home for yourself, do what ever you like..yet so lonely not to have them around.
It is so true, Blessing!

I have a can of chickpeas in the pantry I was going to use for hummus but I may have to try this instead. I may have to try it with fresh mozzarella because I don’t like feta cheese, but the rest of this sounds delicious!
I enjoyed chickpeas both in hummus or salad, someone just shared another recipe with me which I will make this week.
Yum! This looks so tasty! As a vegan, I love love love chickpeas! I’ll definitely be making this recipe, just omitting the cheese! 🙂

This is such a simple, nutritional dish. I love chickpeas with the feta cheese. It really does make a good snack or light lunch. I do tend to cook alone and need simple dishes like this because I don’t have much energy due to living with chronic illnesses.
I am sorry to hear that, Morgan, try to get as much nutritious meal as possible.
This looks yummy. I will certainly have to try this. I typically make hummus with chickpeas. This is a perfect side dish or a light meal.
They are delicious, Nichelle!
I have never tried it. It does looks so good and easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
Simple, Vannie!
This looks so yummy. I would try it soon. I love chickpeas. It is easy as well as fulfilling.
So true, Arun!
Sounds like the perfect salad for summer! YUM 🙂
