Notes

This salad will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge. You will want to freshen it up with a small amount of olive oil and lemon juice. Feel free to mix up the vegetables or add additional ones like bell peppers and zucchini. I have also added grilled chicken to this salad which works well and have subbed white beans for the chickpeas and liked that too. Try adding spices to this salad like sumac or za'atar.
