Share:
Ingredients
For the BBQ chickpeas:
- 15 oz. chickpeas canned
- 2/3 cup BBQ sauce
For the salad:
- 1 romaine lettuce about 5-6 cups chopped, large head
- 1 cup corn sweet, cooked
- 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 2-3 green onions
- 1 cup ranch dressing avocado flavor
Instructions
- Make the dressing: Or you can prepare this in advance and store in the fridge until ready.
- Make the BBQ chickpeas: Rinse and drain chickpeas. In a skillet over medium-low heat, add chickpeas and BBQ sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Feel free to add a splash of vegetable broth or water to slightly thin the sauce if desired.)
- Prepare salad: Meanwhile, chop the romaine, tomatoes, and green onion. Place in a bowl. Add corn and carrots. Toss to combine.
- Assemble: When ready to assemble, toss salad with desired amount of dressing, then top with warm BBQ chickpeas.
Notes
- Storing: This keeps best if the dressing, BBQ chickpeas, and salad are stored separately.
- Ranch variation: For a more classic-style recipe, try this Vegan Ranch Dressing made with cashews or tofu.
- Serving: This makes about 3 large dinner salads, or 6-8 smaller side servings.
- Fresh herbs: For even more flavor, add fresh parsley, cilantro, basil, dill, chives, etc.
