I am a huge fan of no-cook lunches and dinners in the summer, and this salad is the perfect meal for the heat.  This vegetarian chopped chickpea salad is loaded with fresh chopped lettuce (you can use iceberg or Romaine), tasty chickpeas, and topped with loads of cheese.
 
This salad is great for vegetarian meal prep lunches during the week. I prepped a whole week’s worth and was able to enjoy it while working from home.  After I made the chickpeas, I portioned them into airtight containers, stored them in the fridge, and was able to grab one at lunchtime and eat.
 

This Chopped Salad with Chickpeas Is:

  • Bright
  • Crunchy
  • Satisfying
  • Protein-packed
  • Crisp
  • Tangy
  • Vegetarian and so good!

A No-Cook Chopped Salad Recipe That’s Perfect for Summer

This no-cook chopped salad with chickpeas is a quick and simple recipe.  I love a good no-cook recipe for those days when I’m not feeling like standing around the stove, or for summer nights when it’s too hot to cook. I have a whole collection of recipes that require zero cooking at all, check them out here

This salad comes together in about 10 minutes, and doesn’t require the stove or microwave to make. Just use a few pantry staple ingredients and you have a tasty meal ready in no time.  This salad is inspired by the famous chopped salad at La Scala restaurant – but a vegetarian version without meat. And very little to clean up afterwardsâ€Ĥ an added bonus!
