CHICKPEA SALAD PITAS



Chickpea Salad Pitas image

I make up this chickpea salad and keep it in the fridge for lunches all week long - store the extra cukes and red peppers covered in water and snack on them during the week too. Takes just a few minutes to prepare and keeps very well in a tightly sealed container. Also, good topped with feta and tomatoes just before serving.

Tips:

- For a creamier salad, use canned chickpeas instead of cooked chickpeas. - Add some crunch to your salad with chopped cucumber, celery, or red onion. - For a more flavorful salad, use a combination of fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and mint. - If you don't have tahini, you can substitute Greek yogurt or hummus. - To make the salad more filling, add some cooked quinoa or brown rice. - Serve the salad in pita pockets, on top of a bed of lettuce, or as a wrap.
