Notes:

Quick Tips:

  • Make vegan and vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding more chickpeas.
  • Substitute walnuts for a sprinkling of nutritional yeast if you prefer.
  • For added crunch. Add a sprinkle of coconut bacon or roast the chickpeas before adding to the salad.
  • Serve with a side of soup or hummus and chips.
