Chickpea Snack Salad

Take 5 minutes to toss together a fiber-rich chickpea and tomato salad for a satisfying snack.

Tips

• For extra flavor, let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes before eating so the vinaigrette absorbs into the chickpeas.
• Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, or dried oregano for more depth.
• Swap grape tomatoes with cherry tomatoes if that’s what you have on hand.
• Use green or black olives depending on your taste preference.
• Make a larger batch and store in the fridge for a quick snack later in the day.
