Healthy eating is not just a habit; it is a lifestyle. As I have mentioned in some of my posts, on Wednesdays and Fridays, we don’t eat meat or try to have meatless days. So, such healthy and satisfying salads are always welcomed on my table. Chickpea is high in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fibres, with many other health benefits. It is one of the frequently found ingredients on vegan diets or any other vegetarian diets. Even though it is a high-protein, it has fewer calories and is very satisfying. So, crunchy raw veggies like radish and cucumbers nicely pair with canned chickpeas. You can also check my old radish salad recipe here and the radish avocado salad recipe.

It is a cheap recipe but truly flavourful and delicious. Chickpeas are satisfying, while veggies add light and aromatic texture. An outstanding and pleasant balance of a healthy/raw veggie salad with chickpeas.
