Microgreens Salad with Roasted Chickpeas
Even if you’re bound stateside this summer, you can travel to the pristine waters of the Mediterranean as you enjoy our fresh, hearty microgreens salad with roasted chickpeas and homemade lime dressing. Eat it alone or alongside a Greek-marinated grilled chicken breast. Either way is a winner.
We’re in love with microgreens. They’re said to be packed with cancer-fighting beta-carotene and immunity-boosting vitamin C and they’re easy to find in the produce section of your local supermarket or favorite health food store.
The fresh lime dressing combined with savory roasted chickpeas will satisfy your hunger and it’s low calorie. Opa!
