Tropical Chickpea Salad has been my go-to salad for lunches and potlucks for years. You can make it ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to eat. Plus it will keep well for several days. I suggest making a double batch of Tropical Chickpea Salad to bring to parties. It’s always a hit!

If you aren’t a fan of avocados, try substituting tomatoes instead. Hate cilantro? Leave it out or use a different herb, such as mint or parsley. This recipe is very flexible.

Tropical Chickpea Salad is great for lunches or potlucks. It's healthy, low-fat, and full of nutrients from mangoes and avocados. Get this recipe and more like this when you visit www.veggiessavetheday.com, or pin and save for later!

I enjoy eating this salad on its own or over a bed of lettuce. My friend Anna, enjoys it on toast. Check out her version here. Anyway you serve it, this recipe is very quick and easy.

If you’re not sure how to cut a mango, check out the video in my recipe post for Mango Avocado Salsa. As you can see, I really love mangoes and avocados together! They are two of my favorite ingredients.

Although I have to admit, I’m a big fan of anything that includes avocado. In fact, it’s my motto:

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this Tropical Chickpea Salad. And I highly recommend you bring it to your next social gathering!

  14. That sounds really good. I’ve never thought to pair mangos with chickpeas. The texture would be really nice with the fresh burst of seeetness from the fruit.

  18. I LOVE the combo of avocado, mango, cilantro and red onion! Just made a salsa similar to this, but the addition of chickpeas is an amazing idea! Perfect lunch for spring and summer. Yummy!
