Description
This Mediterranean Chickpea Salad is fresh, vibrant, and full of bright flavors that come together in the most satisfying way. It’s a salad that feels both nourishing and incredibly easy to assemble, making it perfect for busy days, light lunches, or potluck gatherings. The combination of creamy chickpeas, crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, salty olives, and tangy lemon dressing brings everything you love about Mediterranean cooking into one beautiful bowl.
