This Caprese Salad with Chickpeas recipe is quick and easy! Made with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. An easy, healthy and delicious side dish!
Drain and rinse chickpeas. Add chickpeas, mozzarella pearls, fresh chopped basil and balsamic vinegar to bowl and toss.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or chill in fridge. You may need to add extra vinegar right before serving if making this ahead. Vinegar tends to absorb as it sits and looses flavor.
Notes
You can brighten the look and taste of this dish by using a white balsamic vinegar based dressing. White balsamic vinegar has a slightly less sweet taste.
