Chickpea Salad Recipe With Lemon, Tomato And Bell Peppers

October 31, 2016 by Wendy Irene Leave a Comment

Chickpeas deserve more attention! They are a nutrient dense food that contains protein, fiber, iron, potassium, magnesium, folate, and vitamin B-6 to name a few. It is thought that chickpeas can help increase the feeling of fullness, mostly likely due to the protein and fiber. Chickpeas may also help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease.

The vibrant lemon flavor with the crunch from the celery and bell peppers, coupled with the sweetness of the tomatoes and the flavor intensity of garlic and shallot, make this a healthy and delicious salad. It takes only minutes to prepare. Have this dish in the fridge ready for when hunger pangs strike. You’ll find it satisfying and easy to make a great nutritious choice. The healthy chickpea salad recipe is light, delightful and low in fat.

Please enjoy!
