I had so much fun making this chickpea salad! I didn’t follow a specific recipe but I’ll list what I used:
2 cans chickpeas (drained + rinsed)
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
some fresh basil leaves
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
Splash of olive oil
Splash of rice vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
This is very plant based of me but I love meat lol. I guess meat just didn’t find its way into my lunch this week, but that’s fine! I had fun and loved using my little divided container to add some snacks. Protein in lunch will have to come from my favorite yogurts and bars shown in the 2nd photo. Hope this inspired someone!
Happy meal prepping!

Update – threw together a cucumber chicken salad. 2 cans of chicken, 1 cucumber diced, and some lemon dressing. I was worried I wouldn’t be satisfied without some form of meat so I swapped the carrots for some of the chicken salad 🙂 I usually don’t pack anything crazy filling because this is for a day in nursing school from 7am-12:15pm. Anyways, I like this better. Yay!
I make this every week to go along w grilled chicken.
Love a divided container meal prep!
I love chickpea salad! Would definitely need a larger portion for it to be filling, like your recipe would be three servings for me anyhow
I love and make a chickpea salad that’s similar. I use green pepper instead of red and I add tomatoes and feta. Looks wonderful! I sometimes put it inside of a pita. Usually it disappears in days, even with a huge batch.
