Avocado & Egg Toast

A Chickpea Spinach Salad is a vibrant, nutritious, and easy-to-make dish that serves as an excellent side or a light main course. It combines the hearty, satisfying texture of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) with the fresh, leafy green of spinach. Typically, this salad is dressed with a zesty blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sometimes mustard, enhancing the flavors and providing a bright, tangy contrast to the earthy chickpeas and spinach. Additional ingredients often include sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and feta cheese, adding crunch, color, and a creamy saltiness. This dish is beloved for its balance of protein, fiber, and vitamins, making it a wholesome choice for lunches, picnics, or as a side. Fresh or dried herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or mint can be added for extra flavor, and for a spicy kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes or freshly ground black pepper works wonderfully.
