Broccoli, Chickpea and Cucumber Salad with Grapes

I love this broccoli, chickpea and cucumber salad because it’s easy to prepare and it’s a complete meal on its own. Other than cooking the broccoli, this salad does not require much cooking. Chickpeas are one of my all time favorite beans, so the addition of it in this salad is a plus!

In this salad, the broccoli, chickpeas, English cucumber and red grapes are tossed in a simple dressing of white wine vinegar, whole grain mustard and olive oil. The result is a refreshingly delicious light and healthy salad, perfect to have on a summer days.
