Broccoli, Grape and Chickpea Salad image

I knew I would love this salad when I first saw it on a Canadian cooking show, and I did. I've since tweaked it to add some red onion for a bit of bite. I love the fresh flavours of this recipe. It makes a great side dish or a lunch to go. Adapted from Ricardo.
