Karl’s Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

Wife Jan asked for za’atar chicken skewers for Mother’s Day and I thought about what should go with it as a side dish.  A Mediterranean tomato and cucumber salad came to mind as something I had done before. However, to change things up I decided to throw in some chickpeas—AKA garbanzo beans. My meat marinade used most of a carton of yogurt and—to pair the salad with the main dish—I added the rest of the yogurt to the dressing.
