balanced living made simple with Brett Blumenthal
Chick peas are loaded with fiber and are a good source of protein. This salad has a Mediterranean flare and makes a great side salad for barbecues, and summer parties. Taking only five minutes to make, this salad makes entertaining a cinch.
This salad can be eaten as a meal by itself, or as a side dish. All the vegetables in this recipe hold their shape and crispness longer than lettuce. So if you go to the grocery store once a week, you can still use the vegetables towards the end of the week and not worry about them going bad. Further, the veggies included are high in nutrients.
