Chickpea Artichoke Salad

This is a simple and delicious salad that is a cinch to throw together.  It’s a refreshing meal for a hot summer day.  I got this recipe from the food demo booth at Publix.  They were handing out samples of this salad.  I got all the ingredients and made it last night when I got home.  So good!!
