About this Curry Chickpea Salad Recipe

For this chickpea salad recipe, I made sure to remove the skin on the chickpea before combining them with the other ingredients. Removing the outer skin makes the chickpeas smooth and creamy. Simply pinch the side of the chickpea and the skin will slide right off. It does take a little bit of time to do this, but it is worth it.

What’s great about this curry chickpea salad recipe is that you can prep it for the week ahead. This salad is so versatile that you can enjoy it a variety of ways. Perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or a light pre-dinner appetizer. This is one of those recipes you will find yourself making on repeat.

Also, curry powder is known to provide a variety of health benefits. Some experts believe that it can boost your immune system, fight inflammation and aid in healthy digestion. To keep this recipe vegan, use vegan mayonnaise and vegan shredded cheese. Otherwise, you can use regular mayonnaise and shredded mozzarella cheese. Either way, this recipe is delicious.

This recipe makes four very light servings or two heartier servings. The nutritional information is listed below.

Storage

Store any leftover chickpea salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for four to five days. Serve chilled when ready to enjoy. Looking for more quick and healthy lunch ideas? Try my tuna noodle pasta salad or my baked salmon salad. Both are easy to make lunch recipes.
