    Hot summer evenings call for cool, fresh soups and salads. My salads are never wimpy iceberg lettuce and tomato; rather they’re vegan high protein salads stuffed with a rainbow of vegetables, beans, lentils and grains.

    This Mediterranean chickpea salad was inspired by the tri-colour cherry tomato mix I found at Aldi – every vegan on a budget’s favourite discount supermarket. Perfect for a simple salad of tossed Mediterranean vegetables and a simple olive oil-red wine vinegar vinaigrette.

    Mediterranean chickpea salad is a great vegan or vegetarian main or side. Ready in just 10 minutes!

    This salad is a hybrid between a Greek salad, a pasta salad and a chickpea salad. No feta cheese to keep it vegan (although you could toss in some tofu feta if you like), and both chickpeas and pasta to make it a super filling and nutritious salad that can stand alone as a full meal.

    A medley of summer’s seasonal vegetables: cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, black olives and a can of artichoke hearts are all you need to prepare this simple salad. Of course you can add anything you like to it; arugula, peppers, other types of beans or fresh herbs are all great additions.

    Easy and delicious Mediterranean chickpea salad with fresh vegetables, pasta and hearty chickpeas.

    Mediterranean chickpea salad is a great make-ahead dish to prepare on a Sunday and pack for lunch during the week. And just like with my vegan avocado pasta salad, it’s a fabulous addition to any summer gathering – great for picnics, barbeques or potlucks.

    Whip this baby up in the time it takes to boil your pasta and serve it alongside a cold soup like this vegan tomato basil soup and some crusty bread and you’re good to go!
