    Plant-Based Moroccan Chickpea Salad for a Substantial Side or Light Meal

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on May 28, 2020 Dairy-Free Recipes, Salad

    This bright and fresh Moroccan chickpea salad has a fragrant plant-based dressing. On its own, this makes a wonderful light meal. But you can add cooked fish or chicken for a heartier main dish.

    If preferred, you can toss the chunky ingredients and serve it atop lettuce. If you don’t have any lettuce on hand, you can alternatively toss the dressing, chickpeas, and vegetables with cooked brown rice or pasta. It’s excellent served warm, but you can also refrigerated it, which allows the dressing flavors to develop.

    We originally shared this recipe back in 2010, when Levana shared it with us. But we’ve recently updated it.

    If you like spicy, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeno. For mild to medium spice, remove the jalapeno seeds and optionally omit the hot sauce.
