Easy Tomato and Chickpea Salad | Deliciously Ella

This easy tomato and chickpea salad adds freshness to any meal. Even in the winter! Why should you eat salads in winter? Because after months of eating lots of heavy stews, soups and roasts, I love eating raw vegetables and fruits. The freshness of the raw herbs and zing from the vinegar and chili wake up the tastebuds. Also, we can all benefit from the vitamins and nutrients of eating salads anytime of the year.

A super easy and fast salad to throw together.

This one comes together very quickly. First, I start off with some vine tomatoes. I find these to be tastier, especially at this time of year. Cherry tomatoes work great though too. Next, slice the tomatoes into halves or quarters. Then, roughly chop some parsley and thinly slice scallions. Add everything to a bowl with the chickpeas (canned or home cooked) and throw all the salad dressing ingredients directly on top. Give it a few tosses and that’s it! So easy! I love not making the dressing in a separate bowl.
