Report
Chickpea salad with fresh Mediterranean flavors from lemon juice, herbs, fennel, and onion. This is a light salad that just happens to be healthy, too.

Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together the lemon juice, oil, parsley, pepper and salt, add the chickpeas, fennel, and onion stir gently to combine well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 24 hours before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Yes, but it adds a few more steps. First, you will need to soak the chickpeas for at least eight hours. Drain then cook them until tender.
- This is a great make-ahead salad and will keep for four to five days in the refrigerator.
- There are quite a few things you can add. Artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, and olives would all be good in it. You can also add crumbled feta cheese or some finely grated Parmesan cheese.
