This is a recipe I threw together last week to have multiple lunches ready to go. This is perfect for that. The longer it marinades the better the flavours. This is an easy recipe that is not to be over-thought. Throw all the ingredients in a bowl and you are done.

I love this because it is high protein, quick to grab, and is bursting with flavours. One thing I did (this is optional) is I roasted the chickpeas before adding them to the salad. Now, in doing this, keep in mind that the first day they’ll be crunchy but will lose that crunchiness by the second day. So again, it’s optional. You can also just add the roasted chickpeas each time you go to eat it to keep that crunch.
