Lemon & Parmesan Chickpea Salad
If you’re looking for a plant based protein then chickpeas are great. They contain 7.5g of protein per 100g, as well as a really healthy amount of fibre, are a great source of calcium, potassium and magnesium.
This is a very quick and simple recipe that can be easily adapted. For example, you could use feta cheese instead of parmesan or maybe lime juice instead of lemon. I used parsley in this dish but you could try coriander or basil.
