This lemon pasta salad is a fresh Mediterranean-inspired dish with chickpeas, herbs, and marinated feta—perfect for a quick lunch, meal prep, or a light dinner.

Louise and I were amazed at how this technique removes that canned bean taste entirely—she even polished off a bowl for a mid-day snack before I could set the table! 🥗
