This is a triple threat salad. You have your beans/chickpeas for protein and fiber, your nutrients from the veggies and a bit of your carbs from the pasta! I love making big batches of these healthy salad as lunches, snacks, sides etc throughout the week. It's delish alone or mixed with leafy greens. Its so good you'll forget its good for you. ENJOY!
