    Chickpea and Carrot Salad with Parsley and Olives

    Published: Feb 3, 2013 · Updated: Apr 7, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This adaptation of a traditional Middle Eastern salad has a great combination of flavors and textures. I especially like it with Middle Eastern- or Spanish-themed meals; though it can be a nice foil for any mild-flavored dish, as well — try it with Pasta with Vegan Alfredo Sauce.

    Serves: 4 to 6

    • One 15- to 16-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    • 1 ½ cups packed grated carrots (see note)
    • ½ cup minced fresh parsley, or more, to taste
    • 2 to 3 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced
    • ½ cup chopped green pimiento-stuffed olives
      or sliced kalamata olives
    • Juice of ½ to 1 lemon, to taste
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Combine all ingredients in a serving container. Toss well and serve. If time allows, let the salad stand for 30 minutes or more, to allow the flavors to blend.

    Note: For greater ease, use baby carrots, eliminating the need to peel and cut before grating. Even easier is using pre grated carrots, but make sure they're fresh and not dried out.

      This looks fabulous! I've been looking for quick weeknight meals to make when it's hot. I'm definitely going to give this a try and maybe serve it over some greens.

      Didn't want to shred carrots,couldn't find packaged shredded carrots,so substituted chopped carrots. Gave dish more crunch. Easy!
