This Chickpea Salad is a great lunch idea that even kids will love!

We served ours in a whole wheat tortilla but you can also enjoy it on whole wheat bread, on top of some leafy greens, or by it’s self!  

This recipe was adapted from Just Say Yes to Fruits and Vegetable’s (jsyfruitveggies.org) recipe, which is filled with over 200 healthy recipes:

2 cups cooked chickpeas

2 chopped tomatoes

1 chopped cucumber

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Place lettuce in a large bowl.
  2. Add chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber and onions to lettuce. Toss lightly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour dressing over lettuce salad and toss.
  5. Add salad to whole wheat tortilla and wrap up.
