Chickpea Salad

If you think you don’t have anything to eat, check again. Almost every ingredient in this salad is pantry staple, from the artichoke to the chickpeas to the olives. The combination of pantry items and fresh produce creates a satisfying crunch and refreshing flavor while making it an easy, affordable weeknight meal. Chickpeas (whether you prefer dried or canned) are so easy to have on hand and make for a nice change from another grain salad. This is one of those salads that works well with anything—in a pita, with a nice jammy egg, or alone as a meal. Any way you eat it, it’ll be good.
