Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a staple in many cuisines around the world. These legumes are a fantastic source of plant-based protein, making them an ideal choice for vegetarians and vegans. In addition to protein, chickpeas are rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a feeling of fullness. They are also packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including folate, iron, phosphorus, and magnesium.

Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

2 medium beets, roasted and diced (or 1 can of sliced beets)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cucumber, diced

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

If roasting beets, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and roast for about 45-60 minutes or until tender. Allow to cool, then peel and dice.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced beets, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and parsley.

      In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

        Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.

          Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and give it a light toss to distribute the feta throughout the salad.

            Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or vinegar if desired.

              Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
