Notes
- Cut the vegetables into small and evenly sized pieces. They will be easier to combine when you mix it and it will be easier to eat.
- Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled. It has a much brighter and fresher flavor and makes all the difference!
- Chickpeas are very filling and turn this salad into a fuller meal. You can substitute these with black beans or white beans if that's what you have.
