Chickpea Salad

The other day I ran across a recipe for chickpea sandwich stuffing on allrecipes.com. It called for celery which I am not a fan of but I figured I could leave that out. But, instead of following the listed recipe I was inspired to create my very own chickpea salad.

You need:
  • 1 can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup of sweet onion finely diced
  • 1/2 of a cucumber, peeled, sliced and then quartered
  • 1/2 of a green pepper finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons of mayo
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of dried dill
  • salt
  • pepper
 Combine all ingredients and mix well. You can serve this as is or atop lettuce. I put it over lettuce and added tuna for some extra protein.  Hope you enjoy!
