This Mason jar chickpea salad is a fresh, make-ahead lunch layered for maximum flavor and texture. Extra chickpeas, quinoa and hemp seeds boost protein, while a lemony, herb-forward dressing keeps it bright without relying on cheese or excess salt. It’s a satisfying, plant-forward option that holds up well for weekday meal prep.
