BROCCOLI, CHICKPEA, AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD



Broccoli, Chickpea, and Cherry Tomato Salad image

This easy recipe came from the March 2004 issue of Everyday Food. It is quick to put together and a colorful and delicious salad. I prefer to eat it right away, still slightly warm. I think it would be good sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese or with some chicken or tuna for a main course salad.
