This is the perfect spring salad in my opinion. There’s mint and parsley which make this salad taste so fresh, plant-based protein in the pistachios and chickpeas, and crunch with the cucumber!
The salad itself is also really flavorful so you don’t need a strong dressing, just a simple lemon and olive oil is perfect.
I love a recipe that’s easy to meal prep. I separated this salad into a few mason jars to bring for lunches this week! Try the recipe below.
