This chickpea salad is an easy-peasy way to get some plant-based protein and clear out some of those half-empty pickled jars in your fridge.

The Ingredients

Ingredients - chickpeas, cucumbers, olives, parsley, artichoke hearts, banana peppers

Notes -

Briny and pickled things: I like to make this salad to clear out whatever half-used jars I have hanging out in my fridge, so I encourage you to do the same if your fridge looks like mine. If your fridge does not, try the following ratio to match the photos here:

  • 3/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1/4 cup banana peppers
  • 1/4 cup green olives

Other great options are:

  • roasted red peppers
  • pepperoncini
  • pimento
  • any other kind of olive, like kalamata or castelvetrano
  • pickled asparagus
  • pickled green beans
  • pickled cocktail onions
  • pickled okra
  • pickled cauliflower
  • pickled carrots
  • pickled radishes
  • pickled or marinated mushrooms
  • giardiniera
  • caper berries or capers
  • sauerkraut
  • hearts of palm

I would personally stay away from any cucumber pickles or pickled beets, but you do you!

Vinegar and olive oil: Because whatever pickled things you use will have different amounts of vinegar and oil clinging to them, I encourage you to start with a drizzle of each and give it a taste! It doesn't need much.
