Pan-Roasted Chickpea Salad: Healthy High-Protein Recipe

Here’s my favorite lunch salad. Along with vitamin-packed vegetables, chickpeas provide high protein, offering complete nutritional benefits in a single dish. Even better, the chickpeas are seasoned and pan-roasted for extra crispiness. Paired with a refreshing vinaigrette dressing, this recipe delivers a healthy and fulfilling dish that can be served for lunch or as a light supper. You can use red wine vinegar, but if you prefer a more refreshing taste like I do, try it with Champagne vinegar. I hope this becomes your new go-to lunch option. Enjoy!
