With the arrival of the hot weather at last, there's never a more important time to be ready with cooked Flourist Kabuli Chickpeas in your freezer. Skip the stove and pair your cooked peas with fresh herbs and zingy dressings, and freshly chopped veggies too. We've rounded up a list of our favourite chickpea salads, all of which are staples in our own kitchens. Make a big batch and rest easy all week, after all, we've waited long enough for summer. No need to slave away ~ the secret lies in being prepared.

Macedonian Chickpea & Eggplant This exotic flavoured salad is a great way to incorporate eggplant into your diet, and here it's roasted to a creamy sweetness and marinated in a zingy, flavourful dressing. Feel free to roast the eggplant directly on the barbecue. 

Ginger Marinated Chickpeas Here's a simple yet addictive way to enjoy your peas, with a delicious gingery twist that's perfect as is or added to your salads.

Simple Marinated Kabuli Chickpeas Keep these marinating in the fridge for up to a week, and add to salads, grain bowls, or enjoy on their own. We encourage add-ins here too: crumble feta, or up the protein quotient with toasted almond slivers.

Chickpea Kale Salad with Feta, Olives & Basil Make this easy salad when you are craving the taste of summer. Enjoy it on its own, or tossed with hot pasta for a full meal.

Epic Wheat Berry & Chickpea Salad This salad has become the gold standard for utilizing Bob's Wheat Berries. Our creamy Flourist Kabuli Chickpeas add just the right touch of softness to balance the sweet and salt of the dressing, crisp fruit and veggies, and those spectacular fresh herbs. It's quite simply one of the most delicious salads you'll ever try.

Enjoy!
