Chickpea Salad

I made this easy chickpea salad for lunch yesterday. The mixture of chickpeas, red onion, red bell pepper and garlic with a simple dressing of lemon juice and olive oil was refreshingly delicious. I paired it up with focaccia bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar mixture. It was a light and healthy lunch, just perfect to have on a hot lazy summer day. Love it!
