Quick and Easy Carrot and Chickpea Salad

This carrot and chickpea salad recipe was given to me by a neighbor many years ago. It's a refreshing and different spin on a carrot salad.

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

• 2 cups shredded carrots
• 1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped white onion

Directions :

1. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth. Add carrots, chickpeas, parsley, and onion; toss to coat.
