Rainbow Chickpea Salad Recipe

This tangy rainbow chickpea salad recipe will brighten up your summer plate

I’m sharing SPLENDA® Sweetener Products in my life as part of a sponsored series for Socialstars™ #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps

Summer is almost over, but there’s still time to get a few more refreshing meals on the table before pumpkin spice season fall arrives. I’ve really been on a salad kick this summer (as you can probably tell from my last few recipes!), and this chickpea salad is one of my favorites!

This rainbow chickpea salad recipe is colorful, fresh and has a killer lemon vinaigrette that brightens up the flavor of all the other ingredients. I used SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend to balance out the acidity of the tangy flavors so we’re left with a not-too-tart dressing.
