Chickpea salad can also be called garbanzo bean salad. Chickpea and garbanzo beans are basically the same thing. It is a great salad foundation that is also nutritious and rich in protein. When you combine it with avocado, tomato, and cucumber, you get one healthy and tasty meal perfect for lunch or dinner.

It is a satisfying meal on itself, that will keep you full for many hours. However, you can pair it with any dishes to make a balanced meal like wine-roasted beef tenderloin or grilled chicken. The beauty of this salad is that you can mix pretty much any veggies you desire, such as bell peppers, kale, or even corn.
