Chickpea Salad Good Picnic Food

Hi. It's Lois in the kitchen, telling you about a delicious, vegan Chickpea Salad that takes about 10 minutes to make. I served this simple salad over a bed of lettuce and added some fried polenta as a side, and the meal was delicious.
If you are not a fan of cilantro, you can substitute parsley. The recipe is based on one from Epicurious.com, but I have modified it quite a bit.  It's tasty and filling, a perfect picnic or potluck dish. Try it for Meatless Monday sometime.

What You Need

You will need a knife, cutting board, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, bowl and salad spinner (affiliate link). Don't skip the olive tapenade in this recipe. It's super good.
