Notes
- Feel free to great creative and make up your own combo of veggies!
- Greek salad dressing
- white balsamic vinaigrette
- lemon vinaigrette
- turmeric tahini dressing
- Chickpeas – Like I mentioned, I used canned chickpeas because they’re super easy to use! If you don’t like chickpeas you can substitute for another white bean like cannellini beans or Northern beans.
- Veggies – The great thing about this salad is that it's totally customizable based on the ingredients you have on hand. Feel free to great creative and make up your own combo of veggies!
- Fresh herbs – I love adding fresh dill to this salad, but honestly any fresh herb would be a delicious addition.
- Dairy-free cheese – Feel free to add some vegan feta or any dairy-free cheese for some added creaminess!
- Dressing – I love the red wine vinaigrette I created with this salad but any vinaigrette would work if you’re in a pinch. Some options: Greek salad dressing, white balsamic vinaigrette, lemon vinaigrette or turmeric tahini dressing.
