Greek Salad with Chickpeas

No need to heat up the kitchen for this fresh entree salad that we first featured in 2020. It's packed with Greek-inspired flavors like feta cheese, chickpeas, olives, and artichoke hearts. For an added layer of flavor, marinate the chickpeas in some of the vinaigrette before serving.
