During the summertime, I’m always looking for a light, refreshing dish for lunch or dinner. And this edamame salad with chickpeas, tomatoes, and feta is protein packed and so quick and easy to make. Perfect for picnics or an easy weeknight meal, this chickpea salad has become one of our favorites.
Edamame & Chickpea Salad
Chickpeas are a pantry staple, and frozen shelled edamame will keep for awhile in the freezer, so it’s easy to always have these two ingredients on hand. Add to that some heirloom grape tomatoes from the farmer’s market, and you’ve got a pretty colorful salad. The dressing is Asian-inspired, with a little sesame oil for a somewhat nutty flavor, and rice vinegar for just the right amount of zing.
