Easy chickpea salad that you can eat on its own or with grilled chicken. This chickpea salad can last all week in the fridge so you do less work!
This is an easy meal prep recipe that lasts in the fridge all week with out getting soggy. I make this chickpea salad on a Sunday and then add tuna for lunches, chicken for dinner, and roasted shrimp to treat myself! Growing up my mom was super healthy and always served us a salad with our meal. I learned to crave a salad with dinner and now crave it as dinner. Hope this recipe brings sunshine in your life! As you chop listen to the chopping sound, as you stir say what you are grateful for, and as you let the food cook read a gratitude book for self care.
Using The Dressing As A Marinade:
- Chicken: marinade 4 hours to overnight
- Shrimp/Scallops: 15 minutes
