INGREDIENTS:
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed
- 1 handful mint leaves
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 pinch black pepper
METHOD:
- Chop the cucumber and mint leaves into small pieces.
- Combine the chickpeas, cucumber and mint in a large bowl.
- Mix the olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl and season with pepper.
- Pour over the chickpea mixture and mix well.
RECIPE NOTES:
- Chickpeas provide a great source of protein and fibre in this salad and are budget friendly too!
- Substitute the chickpeas for other legumes such as lentils or kidney beans, if you prefer.
- Get creative with the cucumber! You can use a peeler or spiraliser to make long shapes out of the cucumber instead of chopping the cucumber into small pieces.
