  • ½ red onion, diced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh mint, chopped
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • salt and pepper to taste

Notes

Preparation Tips:
  • Be sure to rinse the canned chickpeas well before using them in the salad. This helps to remove any excess sodium and improve the texture of the chickpeas.
  • If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, you can substitute with any type of ripe tomatoes.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, try adding some crumbled feta cheese to the salad.
  • This salad is also delicious with some toasted pita bread or served over a bed of greens.
  • If you have time, let the salad marinate in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and make the salad even more delicious.
