Indian spiced Chickpea Salad (Edit recipe)

This salad is easy, quick to put together and my go-to when I want a nutrient-dense mid-day snack but don't want to turn on the stove/ oven, especially in the summer months. All you need is a can of chickpeas, some chopped red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lemon juice and basic Indian spices. You can totally mix up the veggies or even add other types of beans. Make a big batch and you have a great side dish for your meals all week. This recipe is not just for those on a Vegan, Dairy-free, Plant-based Whole30 or Gluten-free diet, it's for everyone!

Notes

For an easier, quicker version, I use canned chickpeas for this recipe. However, if you prefer using dried chickpeas, then soak them overnight (8 - 12 hours) and pressure cook them for 20 minutes. If you don't enjoy the taste of Cilantro, feel free to swap with Parsley. Some other veggies you could add to this salad are diced bell peppers or carrots.
