Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It’s easy to enter and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.
Our Cooking Club is a fun way to celebrate the Love & Lemons reader community. The concept is super simple: every month I choose a recipe. You do it and leave a comment on the recipe blog post. At the end of the month, I randomly select a winner to receive a prize.
I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking a recipe each month. Today we start our April challenge with our chickpea salad recipe and I hope you’ll join the fun. This is how it works:

Plus, for every entry we receive, we’ll donate $1 to No Kid Hungry.

This month’s recipe is my chickpea salad. Full of tangy pickled onions, a bright lemon dressing, and fresh herbs, this hearty salad is my idea of ​​a perfect spring lunch. It keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of days if you prepare it in advance. Just wait to add the mint leaves until right before eating!
I should also mention that this one is completely customizable with different herbs, vegetables, or add-ins like feta cheese. Feel free to change it and let me know what variations you try in your entry. I can’t wait to hear!

Last month’s recipe
Last month, we made this breakfast casserole, which is a great breakfast or brunch meal prep for a crowd. Some fun variations you shared…
- Irais used broccoli instead of peppers and spinach and added oregano, tarragon, onion powder, and sumac.
- Adrienne used sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and leeks.
- Kim used roasted root vegetables instead of potatoes.
- Melina doubled the spinach and added sliced ​​Roma tomatoes and feta cheese on top for a Mediterranean touch.
