That’s a super simple chickpea salad right? It’s great for potlucks, or a quick, healthy, lunch or dinner. In fact, lots of people add tuna to it to make into a complete meal. Like I said every Portuguese family has their own way of making chickpea salad so feel free to play around with it a little. I have seen basil used instead of parsley, and tomatoes used instead of bell peppers. Despite all of the minor differences in this recipe one thing every one of my Portuguese friends agreed on is, it’s delicious!
