Chickpea Tomato and Basil Salad Recipe

I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this Chickpea Tomato and Basil Salad Recipe is! I got the idea for it when I was looking for some ideas of what to do with a bunch of extra basil I had on hand. It is so quick and easy to make and is so incredibly flavorful.

With all the protein and fiber, it’s pretty filling too. And at just 3 Points per serving, it’s the perfect Weight Watchers side dish recipe that could accompany just about any meal. Or double the serving, serve it over some fresh greens and have it for lunch.

It also makes a great dish to take to a potluck or serve at a BBQ. My husband and kids loved it too, and that always makes me happy when they eat healthy recipes.

This is one easy and delicious salad that you’ll make again and again…it’s SO good!

    This was so easy to throw together last night, and I am now enjoying it as my lunch. The flavors are wonderful and I added some chopped mozzarella cheese to mine. I can see this would easily doubled for a larger group.

    Made as directed. Except added some fresh ground pepper. Also, I mixed together the oil, lemon juice, honey and garlic separately and then drizzled it over the chickpeas, tomatoes and basil. It was excellent. I had it over lettuce. Yum.

    I made something simliar to this all the time last summer! I didn’t use honey or lemon juice, instead I used red wine or apple cider vinegar. I’ll have to try your way. Thanks
