Simple Chickpea Salad

This 15-minute Simple Chickpea Salad is an easy and healthy  summertime favorite. Canned chickpeas and a medley of vegetables are  tossed in a lemon vinaigrette, then garnished with fresh herbs. Bring it  to summer picnics, make it for healthy lunches, and more!

Chickpeas are some of my favorite beans to use in healthy recipes. Not  only are they inexpensive and have a long shelf life, but they’re  incredibly versatile! You can use them to make homemade hummus, as a protein source in soups and stews, or use them to add bulk to simple salads. The options are endless!
