This salad combines all my favorite fresh vegetables in one delicious bite. Chickpeas are combined with juicy tomatoes , refreshing cucumbers and crunchy peas, onions and radish , all tossed in a lemon garlic and olive oil dressing.
Not only the combination of colors and textures is beautiful , this salad is loaded with protein from the chickpeas and full of flavor from all the fresh vegetables.
