Recipe: Perfect Light Chickpeas Salad

Light Chickpeas Salad. A little reminiscent of both tuna salad and egg salad, this combo of coarsely mashed chickpeas, mayo, pickles, celery, and onion is all at once creamy, crunchy, and toothsome. We like serving it as an open-faced tartine or toast, but you can also sandwich it between two bread slices or serve it with whole-grain crackers. Serve our suggested amount as a side salad with grilled steak, chicken, or fish, or eat a double portion as a main dish.

Thanks to a variety of ingredients, this salad is a nutritional powerhouse, brimming with antioxidants from the oranges, heart-healthy fats from the walnuts and avocado, and folate and vitamin A from the spinach. A bread salad is a delicious way to breathe new life into day-old bread. Ciabatta bread lends crunch and texture, soaks up juices and dressings, and adds toasty flavor.
