Vibrant Chickpea & Herbs Salad

Bright green herbs stand in for mixed greens in this filling meal-sized-salad. It’s a great way to include more fresh herbs into your diet, and make use of those random green thingies that show up unannounced in your CSA. Feel free to swap as you like- dill, parsley, mint, basil, Thai basil, cilantro, and sorrel would all be great mixed together in some pretty combination!

so green, so lovely
