Today I want to give you a delicious recipe. This is chickpea salad. Before go on to the recipe, I want to explain why I chose this recipe. First of all, this is healthy recipe. This is a salad.

I made this recipe for my family last week. My dad has a little belly :) So I wanted to try it for him. Everyone liked it very much. My father also said that: although he ate little, he was full and liked it very much.

You can also use this meal for lunch instead of dinner. If you prepare it in the morning and take it with you, you will not need to go to the restaurant for lunch at the workplace. Or you can prepare your child for school lunch.

If you liked it or tried the recipe I am waiting for your comments :)
