Easy Chickpea Arugula Salad
When you think of chickpeas you may think hummus, but they can do so much more. This easy chickpea salad recipe with arugula and tomato is a wholesome bite with extra protein.
We recommend preparing the vinaigrette in advance, giving the herbs, lemon, and garlic time to marinate and become more flavorful.
When selecting arugula, mature leaves provide a more peppery taste while baby arugula is milder and slightly nutty. Regardless, both taste wonderful and would be delightful in this salad.
