Healthy summer tomatoes, basil and chickpea salad - vegan and gluten-free

Well my sister made this light, refreshing and satisfying salad for lunch last week and may I say: it was amazing.

Perfect on its own as a lunch, also as a side and you can have it as dinner as well.

It’s vegan, gluten-free and loaded with antioxidants.

As with most recipes at Beauty Bites you can make this salad in almost no time. I know we all don't like to cook for hours when we’re hungry and busy.

This is just another way to use my all-time favorite combination of chickpeas, basil and tomatoes. Add some sesame seeds and lots of onions and you’ll be happy for the rest of the week.



Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas (400g)
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 small red pepper
  • ½ cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 10 basil leaves
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil / olive oil
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 normal onion (small)
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp nigella seeds (optional)
  • 2 big tomatoes
  • 1 carrot (optional)
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain chickpeas and place in a large salad bowl.
  • Chop pepper, cilantro, onions, tomatoes, carrots. Add to chickpeas in the salad bowl.
