Its ideal for meal prepno cooking required.

I particularly love a bean recipe that requires zero actual cooking, like this curried chickpea salad.

Think of it as the plant-based answer to chicken oregg salad.

The hardest working ingredient in this recipe is the yellow curry powder.

Golden raisins complement the spice blend perfectly with their jammy sweetness.

I know raisins can be polarizing in some recipes, but dont knock em til you try em here!

I make this under-10-minute recipe all of the time for a quick lunch or dinner.

Its incredibly satisfying, no matter how you serve it.

Shake well to get rid of all excess moisture.

Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 4 days.

Pickles or banana peppers would be fitting additions, too.

The salad also works as a topper for grain bowls.
