Chickpea Chaat Salad
• This salad is highly customizable depending on what you have on hand. • Add chutneys gradually to control sweetness and spice balance. • Best eaten fresh because the vegetables release water over time. • For meal prep, store dressing separately and combine just before eating. Health Benefits: Chickpeas provide plant-based protein and fiber that support blood sugar stability and satiety. Fresh vegetables like tomato, cucumber, and onion add antioxidants and hydration. Spices such as cumin and chaat masala support digestion and enhance flavor without added fat. This dish is nutrient-dense and satisfying while remaining naturally high in fiber and plant-based nutrients.
