Description
A refreshing yet hearty vegan salad packed with crispy chickpeas, fresh veggies, and BBQ flavors, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the drained chickpeas on a baking sheet, drizzle them with BBQ sauce, and toss to coat evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they turn crispy and golden.
- While the chickpeas are baking, grab a large bowl and combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Stir it all together, so the veggies mix well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to make a delicious dressing.
- Once the chickpeas are out of the oven and cooled slightly, add them to the salad mix and drizzle your prepared dressing on top. Toss the salad gently to coat everything evenly, then serve it right away to enjoy the crispiness of the chickpeas.
Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days. Keep the dressing separate until ready to eat.
