Turkish Chickpea Salad (Nohut Salatasi) image

This salad takes literally 5 minutes to put together, but sure packs a wallop as far as flavor. You may regularly have these ingredients on hand, making this a go-to choice for a side salad or a light lunch. DH adds croutons to his sometimes, sort of like a panzanella!
