For the Chickpeas
  • 1 13-ounce can No-Salt-Added Chickpeas

For the Salad

Equipment

Method

  1. Marinate the chickpeas: add the chickpeas in an air-tight jar, and add the apple cider vinegar, water, agave nectar, and salt. Allow them to sit for at least 20 minutes (preferably overnight). Drain before serving.
  2. To make the salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, sliced salami, marinated chickpeas, roasted red peppers, chopped artichoke hearts, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese.
  3. In a mason jar, add all the dressing ingredients (olive oil, apple cider vinegar, agave, Dijon mustard, and salt), seal with an airtight lid, and shake well to combine.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad, and mix well to combine. Serve with additional mozzarella cheese for garnish.

Notes

Dietary Modifications & Substitutions

  • To make this recipe vegetarian, you can substitute the salami for a plant-based version, or omit it all-together. Also, some Parmesan cheeses can be made with rennet, an animal by-product - so finding a rennet-free parm would make this vegetarian.
  • To make this gluten free, ensure all your ingredients (including the salami and any dressings) are certified gluten free.
  • You can swap out any veggies though for whatever you have on hand - fresh tomatoes, olives, or cucumber would be fantastic choices!
