It’s Monday and you know you’ve been bad this weekend – if you’re anything like me. Make this salad for dinner tonight and you will feel loads better and satisfied because the chickpeas in this are full of protein. This is a very simple recipe so feel free to adjust everything to your liking. This being my entire meal, I like to eat it with pita bread or toasted tortillas. Of course this also makes a great side salad that goes with practically everything.
