Curried Chickpea Salad Recipe from Oh She Glows

This chickpea salad is lightly spiced with curry fl avours—just enough to give it character without overpowering the salad. Feel free to tweak all the spices to your own tastes by adding more or less ginger, curry powder or turmeric.

You can serve this salad scooped into pieces of Boston or Bibb lettuce, or stuffed in a wholemeal pitta. If you have a picnic or road trip in your future, you’ll be happy to know that it packs well, too. It keeps in the fridge for three to four days, so feel free to double the recipe if you’d like leftovers for the workweek!
