Notes

  • As with all our recipes, the calorie count is meant as a guide and will vary depending on quantities and brands you are using.
  • The calories per serving assume you will be using white cheese to crumble over your chickpea salad.
  • The 800 gram tin of chickpeas will weigh around 400 grams once the brine is drained.
  • Chickpea salad is a great dish on its own but it also makes a good side to grilled meats.
  • All the amounts or the chickpea salad recipe ingredients are meant as a guide. You can make it spicier if you wish you can have more or less of other ingredients.
