Why you’ll love this recipe
This buffalo chickpea toast was inspired by the ceaseless craving of my buffalo wings restaurant style. I wanted to try a healthy homemade recipe that tasted just as good. And I must say this buffalo chickpea salad on toast is delicious!
It’s crunchy from the veggies, creamy from the Greek yogurt, and slightly spicy from the buffalo sauce. The yogurt and buffalo sauce mixed in with some drops of lemon juice brings out most of the bright and fresh flavor. Amazing!
The buffalo chickpea toast is made with very simple ingredients and takes about 5 minutes to make once you already have all the ingredients ready. It’s the fastest recipe ever! It’s also very convenient for meal prep so you can just double up the recipe and save it in the fridge for later to enjoy.
This recipe is also super healthy. This is an amazing high protein, nutrient-dense veggie recipe to add to your weekly menu. It’s packed with protein from the chickpeas, vitamins from the vegetables, and healthy fats from the Greek yogurt. Make it vegan by swapping the Greek yogurt for a dairy free yogurt and gluten free by using gluten free bread.
Enjoy this buffalo chickpea toast for lunch, as a snack in between meals, or as a dip with crackers!
