5-Minute Vegan Chickpea Salad

For my sweet and salty lovers out there, you are gonna love this one. The maple syrup brings the sweet, while Real Salt brings the salty. I’ve also added dried rosemary for a little savory in there too. I could literally (literally) eat this with breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert.
