Ingredients to make Moroccan Chickpea Salad with Carrots and Raisins: carrots, fresh mint, canned chickpeas, garlic, raisins, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Sometimes all you want to eat is a simple salad. Bonus points if that salad is filled with nourishing fruits and/or vegetables, plus protein and fiber-filled legumes. Extra bonus points if it's quick and easy to make, and delicious.

Enter Moroccan Chickpea Salad with Carrots and Raisins. When I was writing the recipe, I couldn't believe how simple it was. The instructions all fit on one line! You don't have to do any chopping at all, just a little peeling (which is optional) and shredding.

Moroccan Chickpea Salad before mixing

This recipe entered my summer cooking rotation one summer when I wanted to make my Greek Style Chickpea Salad, but didn't have all the ingredients I needed. So I looked in my fridge and pantry and came up with this recipe.

My family loved it, and it became a regular recipe. It was even one of the dishes I've even brought it camping on occasion.

This recipe comes together so quickly that you can make it on a weeknight when you must dash out the door to an activity or if you've come home late. Save some money and skip fast food. This is faster anyway.

It holds well too, so you can make it ahead if necessary. It's perfect for a picnic or potluck too, since it can safely go for a couple of hours without refrigeration and even tastes great at room temperature.

How to make Moroccan Chickpea Salad with Carrots and Raisins:

This salad is honestly so easy to make, it hardly takes any work at all. All that's involved is opening a couple of cans of chickpeas, draining them (make sure to save that aquafaba for other recipes).

Peel and shred the carrots (a box grater works great for this), and mince the mint. Then simply measure out the remaining ingredients, toss them all in a large bowl and mix them together. It's that easy!
