When I first created these Zesty Chickpea Salad Wraps, it was a sunny afternoon, and I was craving something refreshing yet filling. I experimented with various dressings and found a perfect balance of lemon juice and tahini that really elevates the salad. The key is to let the chickpeas marinate briefly in this dressing so they can absorb all the zesty goodness!

One afternoon, I brought these wraps to a picnic, and they were a hit! Everyone loved the crunch from fresh vegetables and the unexpected creaminess from the chickpeas. I recommend adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs right before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
