Add the salad dressing ingredients into a jar or measuring jug, shake or whisk them together. Set aside and make the salad.
Salad
Using a colander/sift rinse and drain the chickpeas and allow to drip.
Start by adding the chickpeas into a large salad bowl (leaving just a few for the top). Pour part of the salad dressing over the chickpeas, give it a gentle mix. Add the remaining the salad ingredients, the salad dressing and enjoy!
Notes:If you don't like parsley substitute it with coriander, chives or even dill or a combination of herbs! You can also use dry herbs like this garlic and herb or this vegetable spice with a mix of extra virgin olive oil, add fresh lemon or vinegar and toss it into the salad. Fresh is always best, but dried can also be used because herbs add a distinctive flavor!If you are using canned chickpeas because they're so convenient, do check the label for the sodium. Cooking fresh chickpeas or using canned ones with a lower sodium content can limit the salt in your meal.Variations
