Chickpea Salad From Harambe Market

You know what one my favorite new restaurants at Walt Disney World is? It’s actually Harambe Market, found in the Africa section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This quick service location serves up unique dishes, that are far cries from traditional hamburgers and hot dogs. I love the fresh tastes and interesting flavors that are present.
