I'm not a huge fan of chickpeas, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is amazing and the feta and orzo balance out the flavor of the chickpeas.

This chickpea, feta, and orzo salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. The chickpeas add a nutty flavor, the feta adds a salty tang, and the orzo adds a chewy texture. The dressing is light and lemony, and the fresh herbs add a pop of flavor.
