This pretty chickpea salad comes together quickly. If you can't find juicy, flavorful tomatoes, leave them out, or use halved grape or cherry tomatoes instead.

Not bad, but not great. I found the dressing to be a bit too oily for my taste.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I often double the recipe so I have leftovers for lunch the next day.
