22 Healthy Cold Lunch Ideas For Kids or For Work

Protein can be found in various foods - not just in meats - and chickpeas have it in spades. This chickpea salad is a great option for a lighter yet satisfying cold lunch that, with the addition of cucumber and tomato, offers further nutrients like fiber and antioxidants. Feel free to substitute red onion with more kid-friendly veggies like peppers or snap peas. And if you have leftover chicken, you can use your poultry as a protein source instead of (or in addition to) the chickpeas.
