Description

This salad of chickpeas and cherry tomatoes is a real triumph of Mediterranean flavors! I often prepare it during the summer, when the cherry tomatoes are at their best, sweet and juicy. The chickpeas, rich in protein, make it a light and nutritious single dish. The addition of black olives and fresh basil gives an extra touch of flavor. It is perfect for a quick lunch, an outdoor picnic or as a tasty side dish. It is prepared in a flash and can be customized with other ingredients such as cucumbers or peppers. An explosion of taste and freshness in every bite!
