This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it on Sunday and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I'm not a huge fan of chickpeas, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it really elevates the chickpeas.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
