Notes
- *Roasted chickpeas: Often I'll make a double batch (using two 15-ounce cans) because I enjoy lots of crispy chickpea goodness in my salad. But feel free to stick to one batch if desired.
- Other possible additions: Sprouts, avocado, beets, bell pepper, red cabbage, Kalamata olives, nuts, seeds, vegan feta cheese, etc.
