Festive Salad With Chickpeas And Oranges

Did you ever wonder what salad would be great for a festive season? This salad with chickpeas and orange will impress anyone at the festive table! It can be eaten as a side dish, main or appetizer!

I always think about what else I can add to my festive table to make a nice side dish that everyone will love. I usually miss a delicious salad that pairs well with other holiday meals and it’s just full of flavour.

Then I made this raw vegan salad with chickpeas and orange and it was absolutely amazing! I added dried cranberries because they go so well with oranges and they made a very good sweet taste.

For protein, I added a can of chickpeas because chickpeas is a wonderful source of protein, Due to its smooth taste, you can easily mix it in salads!

I also love making this salad for a healthy lunch when I stay at home and need some energy from raw vegan sources. This salad is definitely packed with vitamins and fibre.

If you watch your calorie intake, this salad is very low in calories but gives you a ton of energy! That’s because leafy green vegetables contain a lot of iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium!
