Instructions
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the canned salmon to the bowl, flaking it gently with a fork to break it into smaller pieces.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion to the mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
If desired, serve the salad over a bed of baby spinach for additional freshness and nutrients.
Divide the salad into four portions and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 day for a quick, make-ahead meal.
