    Published: May 29, 2013 · Updated: Aug 2, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This easy chickpea salad, filled with flavorful tomatoes and aromatic basil, makes a good lunch on its own with whole grain bread and fresh fruit. It's a great companion to many Italian-style pasta dishes or simple grain dishes during the cooler months, especially if the meal needs a protein boost. It's also good with pasta salads or potato salads as part of a summer meal, served with a cold soup or fresh corn. It's especially good with ripe summer tomatoes, though off season you can use tomatoes on vine or hydroponic tomatoes.
