That’s what you can expect from this Mediterranean-inspired chickpea salad recipe. Try it out: it’ll probably become a new go-to.
Ingredients

Directions
- Dice up all of the vegetables into small pieces.

- Pour the lemon juice parsley dressing into the salad, tossing to coat nicely.
It’s that simple! This salad is so fresh, making it perfect for hot summer days. It’s designed to be oil-free but if you don’t mind oil, you can also add some olive oil into the dressing for an extra kick of flavor. We recommend eating it with a toasted flatbread on the side to soak up all of the delicious salad juice.
