Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

October 26, 2020

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This Mediterranean Chickpea Salad is the perfect accompaniment to any summer meal. While summer is almost gone, take summer with you in this salad!

This chickpea salad has tender nutty chickpeas, fresh juicy veggies, tangy salty olives, and freshness, and brightness from the lemon juice. 

Mediterranean Chickpea Salad would be great served with crackers as an appetizer, or with roasted lamb as a side salad.

Chickpeas

You can cook dry beans for this recipe, just cook ½ cup of dry chickpeas until tender. 

Marinated Olives

I used marinated kalamata and green olives for this recipe. You want to use good quality marinated olives, not the canned black and green olives because they don’t have a lot of flavor.

Olive oil

Use a good quality olive oil. It really adds good flavor to the salad. 

Fresh herbs

Fresh herbs add freshness and more flavor to the salad. I added freshly torn basil and a fresh spring of thyme. If you don’t have fresh herbs you could also use dried thyme, it still tastes amazing!
