July 2022: Chickpea (no egg) Salad

We are in high summer and hopefully all enjoying picnics, barbecues, and cookouts! Or maybe your kids are playing outside and it’s finally quiet in your house giving you ten minutes to whip up a delicious, nutritious lunch for yourself. I’ve got you covered with my super tasty version of Chickpea (no-egg) Salad. This recipe is easy, incredibly flavourful, versatile, and beyond satisfying. It is perfect for all summer outings, and it keeps well in the fridge for several days. My favourite way to eat it is piled on a slice of sourdough with crispy romaine and a few cherry tomatoes. DIVINE!
