Chickpea Salad with Shredded Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked chickpeas
• 1 cooked and shredded chicken fillet
• 1/2 tomato, diced
• 1/2 sliced red onion
• 1/4 yellow bell pepper, chopped (optional)
• 1 handful of chopped coriander or parsley leaves
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation method:

1. Prepare the chickpeas: If you are using dried chickpeas, soak them for 8 hours and cook until soft. If you are using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them well.
2. Shred the chicken: Cook the chicken fillet with water and seasonings to taste (such as salt, bay leaf or garlic). Then, shred it and set aside.
3. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chickpeas, shredded chicken, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper and cilantro or parsley leaves.
4. Season the salad: Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently to incorporate the flavors.
5. Serve fresh: Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving. This helps to enhance the flavors.

Extra tip: For an even richer version, add avocado cubes or a spoonful of natural yogurt when serving. This salad is versatile and goes well with any meal!

Enjoy this delicious combination of practicality and health! 😋
