Thanks to my vegetarian hubby, you will always find chickpeas (garbanzo beans) in our pantry. They are a super source of protein and go well with so many things. This Easy Chickpea Salad Recipe is a lunchtime favorite, so I thought I would share it with all you lovelies 🙂

My entire family LOVES olives, but I know that some folks out there do not share this love 🙂   Not a fan of olives? Substitute in diced tomatoes and cucumbers.  Both versions are equally Delicious! Packed in our EasyLunchboxes Brights:  Easy Chickpea Salad packed with a sandwich, yogurt, baked chips and fruit leather.

    1. How about a caesar dressing? A ranch would also taste great! Hope that helps Sheri 🙂 XO
