chickpea salad

Legume lunch bowl

A cold dish featuring chickpeas as the primary ingredient, typically mixed with vegetables, herbs, and dressing.

The chickpeas may be whole or mashed to a chunky consistency reminiscent of chicken salad or tuna salad: I brought chickpea salad for lunch.

Mediterranean versions often include cucumber, tomato, and lemon; American versions sometimes substitute chickpeas in traditional mayonnaise-based salad recipes.
