Cool cucumber, spicy radishes, and crunch chickpeas come together to make a beautiful and refreshing Cucumber Chickpea Salad.
What we love most about this salad, aside from the cut of the cucumbers, is the potency of the turmeric dressing, richly yellow and brightly golden and serving this noodle-esque salad like a giant bowl of pasta.
