Today’s Chickpea Salad with Fresh Herbs is one of the NEW ReShape recipes that was added in August. 

This Chickpea Salad is a lighter version of the classic potato salad. It’s a classic vegetarian dish that swaps potatoes for chickpeas, and mayonnaise for Greek yogurt. 

To achieve the creamy consistency similar to potato salad, the secret is to lightly mash the chickpeas with a fork. After combining all of the ingredients, wait 30 minutes for the flavors to meld together. But good luck waiting! 

You can eat the salad it as-is, or serve it on a bed of greens or a slice of keto bread for a fabulous open-face sandwich. 

This fresh salad is delicious on day one, but after refrigerating the extras, they’ll taste even better on day two after the liquid from the dressing is absorbed by the beans. Moist and tasty!
