Chickpea salad vegan with curry and vegetable mix

This quick recipe in a jar shows that a chickpea salad tastes mega vegan. It is the perfect lunch to go for the office.

Chickpeas you make hummus from, right? Yes. But there is much more! :)

Chickpeas are widely used among vegans. Quite popular among vegetarians but quite unknown to many meat eaters.

We would like to put an end to that now. Because there are really really delicious recipes with the legumes. Like our Fritters with sweet potato and chickpeas or Chickpea salad with chili and fresh spinach.

So a chickpea salad can be vegan and still or just because of that just mega taste!

We pack the salad in a jar. So you can easily prepare it the night before and take it to the office. All you need is a fork. You can fill up your body with vitamins.

The great thing about it is that you can avoid the midday slump. Thanks to the high proportion of protein and fiber, you'll be full for a long time.

So whether lunch break in the office or outdoors - nothing stands in your way. :)

If you've got a taste for it, why not take a look at our Quinoa salad in jar over!

Now it's just a matter of sitting back and enjoying. Yummy! By the way: If you don't have chickpeas on hand, you can also use lentils or beans.

If you want to eat the chickpea salad immediately, you can mix the chickpeas, lettuce and vegetables and season with the dressing.

Mmmhh delicious: Quinoa salad with sweet potato and pomegranate!

Separating the layers is only important if you want to eat it later. The oil and lemon would otherwise wilt the lettuce and vegetables.

Ingredients for the chickpea salad vegan

So that you know why we used which ingredients, here are a few sentences about it.

Dried chickpeas

Of course, you can also use canned ones. The advantage of dried chickpeas is that you can still influence their taste.

So we cook our legumes for chickpea salad vegan recipe in water with curry powder. So the chickpeas take the flavor and taste pleasant curry. Not intrusive. And the powder does not scratch your throat later :)

But if you decide to use canned chickpeas, you simply sprinkle the powder over them. Tastes great too.

By the way, chickpeas are a good source of protein. Most people only know them from hummus. Many have never eaten chickpeas. But it is really worth it. Not only in terms of taste.

100 grams of chickpeas have 7.5 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber and only 2.7 grams of fat. You'll also find valuable minerals like iron, copper, magnesium and vitamin K.

Vegetables in chickpea salad

When a chickpea salad is vegan, many meat eaters are afraid it will taste boring. But that is not the case. Herbs and vegetables provide plenty of flavor.

A big load of raw vegetables makes it really crunchy and healthy. Because vegetables contain the most vitamins and nutrients in their uncooked state.

Since this post on the chickpea salad vegan would be forever long if we illuminate each vegetable in great detail, there's a quick pass.

Kohlrabi is particularly low in calories, with only 23 calories per 100 grams. It contains a lot of fiber, which fills us up quickly.

You'll find plenty of niacin and folic acid in it. But also vitamin C. Kohlrabi is also rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. It gives the chickpea salad extra crunch!

Yummy: Do you know this chicory orange salad yet?

What should not be missing in any mixed salad: Tomatoes! They make the salad juicy. The tomato has a very high vitamin C content.

It also contains numerous B vitamins. This vegetable is credited with protecting against heart disease and atherosclerosis. This is due to lycopene, a carotenoid with antioxidant properties.

At least as delicious are Cucumbers. Sei consist mostly of water and therefore have only 12 calories per 100 grams.

You will find in it B vitamins, vitamin C and E. Besides calcium, zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. Cucumbers give the vegan cherry pea salad a little more crunch.

Radish are still mostly seen as a pretty garnish. But they should be given much more attention. The pungency of radishes can kill bacteria and fungi in the stomach and intestines.

The redder a radish is, the more vitamin C it contains. You can also find in it selenium, folic acid, iron and phosphorus.

Herbs should also not be missing in any salad. Parsley is really healthy. They Contains even more vitamin C than oranges and lemons! In addition, parsley brings flavor to the vegan chickpea salad.

And you can add even more crunch to your salad with pumpkin seeds. They also provide you with a lot of iron.

For a little more color, provides green salad. For this we use fresh lettuce. And on top there's a few raspberries for the eye.

Dressing for the vegan chickpea salad

Since you already have quite a few different vegetables in the salad and the chickpeas already taste like curry, the dressing is quite simple.

Instead of vinegar, lemon provides pleasant acidity. And so that it does not become dry, we still take a little olive oil. Cayenne pepper and salt round off the chickpea salad vegan.

Our conclusion

Anyone who prepares a chickpea salad vegan will quickly realize that "only" plants can also make you full. And that legumes can be so much more than just bean salad :)
