Healthy Chickpea Salad with Honey & Fish Sauce Dressing

Healthy Chickpea Salad with fresh veggies topped with a sweet Fish Sauce and Honey Dressing is a refreshing and filling salad recipe, packed with goodness. This is an easy Salad recipe and is perfect for lunch.

So, the summers are finally here and I'm in no mood to make Lunch! Today, I made this salad for lunch, and can you believe even my kids approved it! Yeah! it's that good. Thank God for inventing Chickpeas, which is such a healthy ingredient and an instant filler. This means you will have happy kids at home even if you are making a salad.

During Summers, I hate going to the kitchen. It gets so hot and stuffy there. So, I like to dwell on Salads. Thankfully I am able to get my hands on some fresh produce which is always helpful in mixing up a bowl of Salad.

Chickpea Salad is made with fresh veggies such as Red Onions, Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Cucumber, and of course some Freshly Chopped Cilantro!

The fish sauce is the main ingredient in this recipe. It gives that sweet and spicy flavor to this healthy Chickpea Salad also brings out the flavor of the veggies. It's really so yummy! Fish Sauce gives that Asian or precisely Thai Curry flavor to this recipe which is so so so good!

The steps for making healthy chickpea salad

First, chop your veggies and keep aside. Also, we will be using cooked Chickpeas for this recipe. You can cook your Chickpeas in the Instant pot for 5 minutes and they will be ready. If you do not have an instant pot, then just soak these Chickpeas in hot boiling water with some Baking soda for an hour and they will be ready for use!

Next is the Dressing. The dressing is literally the heart of this salad and without it, it shall be no good. You can make the dressing by using some Fish Sauce with some Olive Oil, Garlic, Honey, Lime Juice, Salt, and Pepper. If you want you can also throw in some Red Chili Flakes or Green Chilis or Chopped Jalapenos. These work amazingly well with this dressing.

Finally in a mixing bowl add the Chickpeas, followed by the Cucumber, Bell Pepper, Red Onion, Tomato, and top with some freshly chopped Cilantro.

Pour the Fish Sauce and honey dressing on top and mix your salad well with two spoons. Season with some more salt and freshly ground pepper if you desire and serve!

The Final Tasting bit!

I know. This is the most important bit! On a scale of 1-10, I rate this salad 10 in terms of healthy and 10 in terms of taste. It's filled with fresh veggies and Chickpeas which is packed with proteins and goodness and is so good. Also, the taste is so good. Fish sauce is really amazing because it brings ina wonderful spice to this salad. Also, the Honey and Garlic are two perfect twins which makes everything good.

This is one of the healthiest summer salad recipes. If you are allergic to Fish sauce or cannot tolerate the smell of Fish Sauce, then you can use Dark Soy Sauce in its place. Although it won't smell the same the taste will somewhat be similar.
