Have you ever been invited to a party and not know what to make? You want something easy but tasty and doesn’t cost a fortune? Well we have the perfect recipe for you, our 4 Ingredient Chickpea Salad!
This recipe was not 100% created by us. We need to give credit where it is due, our sister was the originator of this chickpea salad recipe. What we did though, was put ingredient quantities to the recipe. That is one of the great things about this recipe, it can be modified to taste. What we are giving you, is our preference.
Naturally gluten free and vegan, this recipe is a crowd pleaser and is safe for most food allergies! We have found it to be a perfect side dish for the heat of the summer as well, since it doesn’t require any cooking! What are some of your favorite summer sides?

Since I make homemade hummus with chick peas, maybe I will enjoy this salad. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
