    This Summer Chickpea Salad is full of fresh flavors and herbs.  It is light, healthy, gluten free and travels well.  Pack it in your lunch or your beach bag! {gluten-free, vegan}

    Does anyone else eat waaaay too much when they are on vacation? Something about this beach air that makes me starving!  I'm more likely to make poor food choices like chips on the beach and wine every night.

    This salad makes it okay for me to pig out on ice cream every night at the Nantucket Juice Bar, right?  Hang with me, peeps!

    Let's just say I need a healthy salad at the ready.  This Summer Chickpea Salad is great because it holds up in the fridge for several days and it packs well in a cooler or lunch bag. It has a super light dressing of olive oil and lemon so it doesn't get soggy.  

    Need a heartier lunch? Add in grilled chicken, steak, shrimp or salmon.

    How cool is this photo?  Hubby was able to capture this the other night on the beach.  It almost doesn't look real.

    Long live summer and ice cream every night!

      This is the perfect guilt-free salad Karen. And you know I'm saving up for that s'mores brownie. We live down at the beach for the summer and can I just tell you everyday I seem to make more poor choices than good. But the process is so much fun!

      I love how easy this is! And simple to throw together when you just got back from vacation and don't have too much in the house. Filling and healthy!

      This looks like a perfect salad! I love making something once and then eating on it for several days. I could use an ultra healthy, low fat dish ๐Ÿ™‚ I've been indulging way too much this summer! ๐Ÿ™‚

      I must be weird because I tend to eat less on a beach vacation... I think it's the whole bathing suit thing. But any other vacation? I stuff my face! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I'm a chickpea addict so this salad is totally calling my name!!!! Looks amazing! Cheers, Karen!
