Think of this Chickpea Salad as a better-for-youpotato salad, with a fresh Greek edge.
Except it can do so much more!
It is really, really tasty.
Big bowl of little white blobs (chickpeas with tzatziki). It looks like more tzatziki than there is because there’s extra shredded cucumber and finely sliced celery in there which is not very visible.
Mix it all up so its jumbled together, and eat with a spoon.
Such great warm weather food!
This was really, really good.

So satisfying, and so moreish!
The answer is highly recommended, but I have alternatives.
Ive popped directions in the recipe notes.
Celery Finely sliced, for a bit of crunch which I felt this needed.
You could substitute with finely sliced cucumber (for a double cucumber hit!!).
Goal:3/4 cup cucumber after shredding and squeezing out the excess water.
Lemon juice For a touch of fresh tang.
Fresh dill This really elevates this dish, so highly recommended!
Mint is also terrific, though use about half the quantity.
Garlic Its not tzatziki without garlic!
Use one large clove or 2 regular size ones.
Gratethe cucumber using a standard box grater.
Squeezeas much water as you might out of the cucumber.
I use a tea towel but you could use your hands, working one small handful at a time.
Quantity We wanted 3/4 to 1 cup cucumber after the water has been squeezed out.
Chickpeas Then add the chickpeas and celery and mix it through.
Here are some ideas:
Side-dish Serve it like you would apotato salad.
Except, point out to the eaters that its better for you!
No mayo, and more nutritional value in the chickpeas than potato.
);
Chickpea salad sandwich(see photo at top) Its so good!
I like to add some avocado which kind of acts like a glue to keep the chickpeas in place.
Regular bread slices will work as well!
Piling Imagine serving this on a bed of finely shredded lettuce, aka vegetarian prawn cocktail style.
I see it, and think it would be delicious!
Think Greek Chickpea Pasta Salad.
Who knew a humble chickpea salad could do so much.
I hope you love it!
