Chickpea Salad:
This recipe is a dump it and stir it up simple recipe. My favorite kind for summer! It is best when it marinates overnight but other than that it could be prepared in minutes. You can definitely serve it after you make it but we just like it to really soak in the flavor.
Packed full of protein and veggies this is light and fulfilling salad. You can make with whatever veggies you have on hand. I like it with cucumbers, peppers and onion. The chickpeas give it a “meat” substitute with the protein.
