Notes
- Nutrition facts are calculated without any bread, crackers, or toppings.
- How to prep ahead of time: This entire recipe can be made a day before serving and kept in the fridge.
- How to store: Keep leftover chickpea salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- How to freeze: While you can freeze chickpea salad for up 6 months, the texture will be changed upon thawing if you included the grapes. Excess moisture will make the salad runny.
