Mango Chickpea Yogurt Salad
Mango sweetens a chickpea salad dressed with cumin yogurt and lime. Cucumber and pumpkin seeds bring two different kinds of crunch, making it a useful no-stove lunch with cooked beans already available. Drain the chickpeas well before mixing and fold rather than mash the fruit. Add the seeds immediately before serving so they do not soften in the yogurt.

Storage
Keep assembled portions covered and refrigerated until serving. Follow the labels and handling guidance for the perishable ingredients; a reminder date does not establish a new storage life.
For perishable foods and leftovers, U.S. FDA guidance calls for prompt refrigeration, no more than two hours at room temperature (one hour above 32°C/90°F), and a refrigerator at or below 4°C/40°F. Follow the product label and local guidance. Smell and appearance alone cannot establish safety.
FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Keep thick plain yogurt for the dressing. Milk or a sweetened yogurt drink changes both consistency and flavor; the salad has no validated liquid-dairy replacement.
