Ingredients

• Organic Chickpeas: The typical salad includes croutons, but we’ll be roasting up some chickpeas instead to add the perfect amount of crispy texture, fiber, & plant protein!
• Organic Japanese Sweet Potato: I personally leave the skin on, because it adds extra fiber. Just be sure to scrub them well before chopping. 
• Organic Greens: Any greens work great. Baby spinach, arugula, chard, &/or massaged kale.
• Organic English Cucumber: An addition that adds a bit of freshness + crispness.
• Organic Avocado Dressing: It’s creamy, herby, & the perfect condiment to pair with the salad!

How To Make

1. Roasted Chickpeas & Sweet Potatoes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F & line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss the drained chickpeas & chopped sweet potato with the oil + seasonings. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, flipping halfway.
2. Avocado Dressing. To a food processor, high-speed blender, or using an immersion blender, add the dressing ingredients & blend until smooth. If needed, add more spring water to achieve a thick, yet creamy consistency.
3. Serve. Divide the fresh greens, cucumber, & avocado, between serving bowls. Top with the roasted chickpeas & sweet potatoes. Pair with the avocado dressing & a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Enjoy!

Tips for Making this Healthy Vegan Salad Recipe Perfectly

• Drain the Chickpeas: Drain your chickpeas before adding to the sheet pan to ensure that they get crispy.
• Baking: Be sure to flip the chickpeas & the sweet potatoes halfway while roasting, so that everything gets baked to perfection. 
• Organic Greens: Any greens work great. Baby spinach, arugula, chard, &/or massaged kale.

Storing & Reheating

As mentioned above, this Roasted Chickpea & Sweet Potato Salad with Avocado Dressing recipe is perfect for leftovers & meal prep!

Fridge Storage. Transfer the salad ingredients to separate air-tight glass containers & refrigerate for up to 4 days. I would recommend holding off on preparing the avocado dressing until the salad is ready to enjoy.

Reheating. To reheat, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer the chickpeas & sweet potatoes to an oven-safe bowl.  Place in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes, until warmed through. Serve with the remaining salad ingredients.
