This salad is best made a day ahead of time, allowing the flavors to develop fully. However, if you’re running short on time, toss the salad together and let the veggies marinate in the dressing for at least 10 minutes. Serve it with burgers, steaks or even hot dogs. It’s a versatile salad that goes well with anything. And with those protein-packed chickpeas, it’s a filling dish for the vegetarians at your table.
