Mediterranean Chopped Salad With Shrimp and Chickpeas

This is a wonderful salad that will become one of your favorites! I like to make a meal out of it. This doesn't call for tomatoes, but you could put them in if you wish, and you can use red onion rather than the sweet onion. I like to use lemon juice with the olive oil occasionally. This is a very refreshing salad, great for before meals, or a quick lunch.
