You can create a chickpea salad packed with a protein punch without adding meat!

Chickpea salad with feta cheese and avocado 721x1000

How often do you enjoy plant-based protein? I’m not talking about the protin powder that you put in your smoothie, but from the natural veggies that you can buy at the grocery store. Chickpeas are one of these options for plat-based protein, and are great to incorporate into many other salads as well as this one!

This chickpea salad with feta cheese and avocado will keep you full for hours. It satisfies anyone who is craving salt, sweet, cheesy or juicy. I love chickpeas, and this beautiful chickpea salad combines all of my favorite fresh vegetables in one delicious bite.

What is the difference between garbanzo beans or chickpeas in a salad?

In short, they are the same thing- the same legume. The term “chickpea” is used more by English speakers, while the term “garbanzo” came from the Spanish language and used more in European countries. No matter what you call it, chickpeas are packed with fiber, protein and contain minerals and vitamins. The nutty taste and grainy texture of chickpeas pair well with other ingredients and foods (like this salad).
