You may have guessed by now that chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are one of my most-loved ingredients.

I put them in Italian Chopped Salad.

And Buffalo Ranch Chickpea Taco Salad.

Plus I could never forget Chickpea and Guacamole Tacos.

I could go on and on!

But right now I am hooked on this Olive Cucumber Chickpea Salad.

One thing I love about this salad is that you can make it ahead of time, and it will taste incredible the next day. It’s great for taking to work or school for lunch. And if you make a big batch, it’s sure to be the hit of any potluck!

It’s also perfect as a side when you’re serving sandwiches or burgers.

  24. The cucumber Chickpea salad is one of my favorite ways to eat salad. I have not used olives in my mine, but that seems to be a great idea to add another layer of flavor. I could skip the feta and use olives instead. Looks great!
