Mediterranean chickpea salad recipe
Summer has arrived and it is getting hotter. It is time to prepare light and fresh food to be able to withstand the high temperatures. Today's recipe is chickpea salad. On other occasions we have already seen how to prepare lentil salad or the popular pasta salad.
Today's salad has many variants since like most salads you can add the ingredients that you like the most. Personally, I like to mix chickpeas with avocado, hard-boiled egg, tuna and some vegetables such as onion or pepper.
In addition, today we will also add a little broccoli since it is a vegetable that provides a lot of benefits to our body.

How to make jarred chickpea salad with tuna and avocado
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas. We put them in a large bowl.
- We cut the broccoli into small florets and boil them for a few minutes until they are tender but crisp. We drain and cool under cold water.
- Peel and cut the avocado into pieces. We also cut the red onion into thin slices. We add the avocado and onion to the bowl with the chickpeas.
- We put a handful of olives inside the bowl. Personally I like to add black olives but you can add the type you like best. Optionally we can add shredded tuna to the bowl. To crumble it, I recommend opening the can and using a fork to break it up.
- We wash and cut the red pepper and green pepper into thin strips and add it to the salad with the rest of the ingredients.
- We add the cherry tomatoes cut in half into the bowl.
- In another separate container, prepare the vinaigrette: mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and stir gently to ensure that all the ingredients are well mixed.
- We put the boiled eggs cut into slices or halves on top of the salad.
- Now we only have to serve the chickpea salad with broccoli, avocado, red onion, black olives, tuna, red pepper, green pepper, cherry tomatoes and egg.

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
