This is the perfect summer salad for hot days: chickpea salad, with roasted potatoes and coriander pesto
We added nectarines to this dish to complement the freshness of the tomatoes and cucumbers, but you can always use another fruit of your choice to provide that contrast. It makes a great lunchbox for the beach or a nice picnic.
