Curried Mango Chickpea Salad

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy.

Initially this was going to be just a curried chickpea salad, but when I saw the mangos at the fruit market it very quickly became a mango chickpea salad.  I just couldn’t resist and it turns out mangoes and curry go really well together (who knew!). This refreshing salad has the texture of a tuna or chicken salad but is completely plant-based.  You can have this on it’s own, as a side or use it to make sandwiches.  Mr. Pea said this salad reminds him of a refreshment on a gorgeous summer day and I say bring on the summer time!…. and the mangoes, lots of mangos!

The salad is also super quick to whip up which I love.  I’ve been having a lot of recipe creation success lately, but trying to balance everything in my life is what is hard (so I’m a big fan of quick meals!).

Plus, chickpeas have a ton of nutritional advantages in a plant-based diet.  Not only are they are great source of protein, but 1 cup of chickpeas knocks of 26% of the recommended daily iron intake and 8% of your required calcium, which is huge.  It’s also something I had no idea about before starting to research a plant-based diet.  For more information check out these articles from the Vegetarian Research Group on getting enough Iron and Calcium.
