Summer is here, and I have the perfect summer salad for you. This salad is healthy, refreshing, and perfect for a summer BBQ because it holds up really well. Add some protein of choice, and dinner is done! It can be made a day ahead, and I prefer it that way. I feel like it gives the flavors a chance to really meld together. Just make sure to toss it again right before serving. Let me know if you give it a try. If you want a fun cocktail at your cookout, try my Blood Orange Margarita. it is so good and refreshing on a hot summer day. Enjoy!

So much variety in that salad that I think my husband would love it. He actually loves weird salad where as I am all about the normal salad! The kids like salads that are a bit weird too come to think of it so I will have to see what they think of this one!
Oh wow! I love finding new salads to make when the weather is warm. We love chick peas so this sounds like a perefct match!
It is so good and so easy. Enjoy!
I make a similar version all the time. So fresh and so good! I make this after a long day at work, since I do about 5 miles a day at work and I’m exhausted and need something healthy but quick.
This salad looks absolutely delicious. It’s one of my favourite things to eat during the summer months 🙂
