Vegan Ceviche Style Chickpeas – A Delicious High Protein Plant-based Meal For Any Occasion
This recipe is filling, nutritious, and flavorful – the perfect plant-based meal to fuel you or help you recover from a strenuous workout. It’s inspired by traditional Ceviche, but instead of white fish, it includes garbanzo beans (chickpeas), keeping it entirely vegan. The cucumber adds a bit of crunch and the cilantro and lime juice help all the flavors come together perfectly.
Ingredients You’ll Need
The following is an overview of the ingredients needed to make these Vegan Ceviche Style Chickpeas. You’ll find the exact measurements in the recipe card below.
- Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)
- Fresh Cilantro (I love Cilantro!)
- Lime Juice (I love Lime!!)
- Fresh Roma Tomatoes
- Fresh Jalapeños
- Red onion
- Cucumber (this adds a nice crunch)
- Avocados (optional)
- Salt and pepper
- To serve: Sriracha, hot sauce, tortilla chips or tostadas.
How to Make These Vegan Ceviche Style Chickpeas
Prep the ingredients
Dice the red onion, tomatoes (don’t discard the juice!) and jalapeños, then set aside.
Next, peel and chop the cucumber, juice the limes, and cube the avocado (discard the peel and pit).
Prepare the salt & pepper, and fresh cilantro (you can remove the stems, but no need to chop it) and get ready to bring it all together.
Bring it all together
To a large bowl, add all the ingredients, mixing it all together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge to let the vegan ceviche style chickpeas marinate in the lime and tomato juice in order for all the flavors to come together.
Serve & Enjoy!
Finally, taste test and add more salt and pepper, as well as sriracha and hot sauce to taste before serving the vegan ceviche style chickpeas with either tortilla chips or on top of tostadas. Enjoy!

So flavorful! Thank you for this great recipe:)
Just made this and loved it!
Very good! I replaced a can of chickpeas with edamame. Delicious!
So glad you enjoyed it:)
Delicious, especially with the addition of sricha. It got better with time as the flavors really melded. Always looking for more protein so will definitely make again!
Hi Jessie! So glad you enjoyed it:)
It sounds like it would be tasty. It is labeled protein rich, but what are the nutritional breakdowns for this recipe?
This is a delicious and fresh recipe! So very good. I like to save the avocados on the side and add some to each serving.
I made this as a side dish for dinner and everyone loved it!
I only had 1 can of garbonzo beans so I added a can of black beans. Love it! So good!
