Chickpea Salad with Lemon Dressing

This flavourful chickpea salad recipe with lemon dressing is great for packing along to a picnic. It can be prepared the day before and can also easily be doubled for a crowd.

Chickpea salad is also delicious as a filling in sandwiches. Simple fill a lettuce-lined pita bread and enjoy!

Salad Ingredients:

1 19 oz. (540 ml) can chickpeas, drained
3/4 cup celery, thinly sliced
1/4 cup radish, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sweet onion (Vidalia) or red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

Lemon Dressing Ingredients:

2 tbsp. plain yogurt
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. each, salt & pepper
1 tsp. grated fresh lemon rind

Using the bowl you will take to your picnic, whisk together the dressing ingredients.

Add all other ingredients to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.

This may be prepared and refrigerated up to 24 hours before picnic time. Makes 4 servings.
