What’s In This Marinated Chickpea Recipe?

Cooked Chickpeas: you can use canned (I’d recommend these no salt added chickpeas) or make your own garbanzo beans from scratch in the Instant Pot… no soaking required!
Veggies: I included cucumber, radishes, red onion, tomato, and green onion for flavor… but use whatever you have on hand!
Apple Cider Vinegar, I use Bragg’s brand because YUM
Granulated Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes, it has a really nice texture in this bread, I’d recommend Anthony’s organic sugar for baking.
Water, to cover
Herbes de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!

How To Marinate Chickpeas:

In a mason jar, add the cucumber, radishes, red onion, tomato, apple cider vinegar, sugar, chickpeas, and green onion. Shake well to combine all ingredients together, add 1/4 cup water of needed to cover chickpeas and vegetables.
Allow to marinate at least 10 minutes, but preferably overnight.
Add chickpeas to salads, wraps, sandwiches, hummus, or avocado toast.
