Chickpea Salad Ingredients
I make this sun-dried tomato chickpea salad with a homemade greek style dressing. But you could get greek salad dressing from the store and use that instead.
I just love how the flavors from the sun-dried tomatoes are dispersed everywhere, because I use a little of the oil in the jar to make the salad dressing. YUM!
