Chickpea Salad With Lemon, Parmesan, and Fresh Herbs

This zesty chickpea salad with lemon and Parmesan is a vibrant vegetarian dish that celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients. The combination of fresh basil and flat-leaf parsley provides a fragrant, herbaceous base, while the sharp lemon juice and salty cheese create a sophisticated flavour profile. It is a wonderful option for those seeking a light yet satisfying lunch that can be assembled in less than ten minutes.

Ideal for meal prep or as a reliable side dish for grilled vegetables, this healthy salad is remarkably versatile. The chickpeas provide a hearty texture and plenty of plant-based protein, making it an excellent store-cupboard staple. For the best results, prepare it a few hours in advance to let the garlic and citrus infuse, then serve at room temperature to allow the fruity notes of the olive oil to shine.
