if you are looking for the perfect Summer Salad you have to try my Herby Chickpea Orzo! It’s so bright and packed full of flavor with 5 different fresh herbs! My garden really came in handy for this recipe! I love using the marinated chickpeas from Trader Joe’s in salads but you could totally use regular chickpeas as well. I find the marinated ones give the salad even more flavor. This is a great side dish for a BBQ or cookout! Best served room temperature.
