Chickpea Salad

This month I am keeping it simple! You can throw this easy chickpea salad together in 20 minutes and let it sit so it’s ready when you are. With a base of chickpeas, it is hearty enough for lunch or pairs perfectly with grilled chicken for dinner!

Alternate Recipes: Looking for more delicious spring salads? These easy recipes are perfect for adding a fresh, crisp side to your busy weeknights!

  • Cucumber Tomato Salad – this refreshing salad is a spring classic! It is the perfect side dish for your favorite grilled or roasted meat!
  • Easy Greek Salad – packed with fresh vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and an easy homemade dressing, this salad is a spring must-try!
