Description
A fresh and vibrant salad featuring a mix of super greens, vegetables, and roasted chickpeas, drizzled with a tangy dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 oz super greens mix
- ½ English cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- ½ medium avocado
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas, roasted & salted)
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan
- ½ cup roasted chickpeas
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp kosher salt (more to taste)
- ¼ dash black pepper
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika (or smoked paprika)
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ (220°C) and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas and dry them with a dish cloth. Toss them in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- While the chickpeas roast, make the dressing by blending or whisking together the dressing ingredients. If using a whisk, add the olive oil last and whisk vigorously while drizzling it in to emulsify.
- Dice the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and avocado. Add the greens to a large salad bowl. Top with the cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, pumpkin seeds, and roasted chickpeas.
- Right before serving, add half the dressing and the parmesan cheese. Toss to combine and serve with the remainder of the dressing on the side.
Notes
- I suggest adding half the salad dressing right before serving and leaving the rest on the side so that everyone can decide how much dressing they want!
- If you’re making this for the week for yourself, store the salad and dressing separately, and add it when you’re ready to eat your portion for the day.
