Scale
  • 15-ounce can chickpeas (or 1 1/2 cups cooked)
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup English cucumber, chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 pinch celery seed or fresh torn herbs (parsley, dill, basil, etc), optional

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
