This chickpea, corn, and carrot salad is quick, easy, and tasty with the addition of honey and champagne vinegar. It’s perfect for a potluck or backyard barbecue.
We were invited to a pot-luck party recently where the meat and desserts were being supplied by the host so they suggested bringing along a side dish.
So, I whipped up this quick and easy chickpea and carrot salad, which is not only very tasty, but perfect for spring.
