Vegan Super Green Goddess Chickpea Salad
Hello & Happy Monday!!
In hopes to bring you more effortless lunch concepts I’ve been obsessing over chickpea sales lately. We’ve all gone thru a hummus phase, but there is so much more you can do with chickpeas, one of them is salads! Yesterday we featured a Caesar Chickpea Salad and today I wanted to explore a Green Goddess. I’m forever in love with tarragon and the flavor it provides, which is why I’m all about Green Goddess anything.Â
Being that GG dressing is a crowd pleaser, I knew we could also do a seamless chickpea salad that offers the same flavor, but packs protein and fiber.. and the vegan Green Goddess Chickpea Salad was born!
What’s great about my approach to the Green Goddess dressing is that I pack on the greens! My recipe features arugula and avocado, no oil, no mayo, and is just so good! I love this concept as it’s quick, easy, affordable, perfect for any season, can easily be made in bulk, light and refreshing, but filling, perfect for entertaining and is one of my go to’s!Â
