Jill’s Easy Chickpea Salad

I found this recipe years ago from It’s A Zesty Life blog and its a lunch staple in our house. It’s just the right consistency for a substantial vegetarian salad that is actually filling. I always double it; and, I leave out the nutritional yeast because I don’t love the cheesy taste it gives. Enjoy! -C
