Chickpea salads like this one with beets are so full of flavor and easy to make; especially when using canned beans. Not only are chickpeas delicious, they're also versatile and loaded with protein and fiber to help fill you up. 

This Mediterranean salad can be eating on its own for lunch or dinner or served as a side salad. It makes three cups, can be ready in minutes and is also gluten and dairy free. 

What are chickpeas?

Chickpeas are also called 'garbanzo beans' or 'ceci beans' and are part of the legume family. They have a mild, nutty flavor; which takes on other flavors when incorporated into recipes. 

Some of my favorite recipes with chickpeas include Roasted Chicken and Chick Pea Soup, Chick Peas and Spinach and of course, hummus.
