Ingredients

• Ingredients Scale 1x2x3x leafy greens of choice (I used baby kale) cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans) carrots, grated or sliced grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced in half red onion, diced or green onion, sliced cucumbers, sliced 1/2 avocado, sliced big fat dollop of hummus pepitas (pumpkin seeds), to garnish hemp hearts, to garnish 1 lemon, squeezed at serving

Preparation

• Instructions I’ll let you measure your ingredients. I used about 1/2 cup of chickpeas, 1/2 avocado and a small handful of carrots, tomatoes, onion and cucumber for each salad. Use however much you like depending on how big your salad is going to be. Place your ingredients in your serving bowl, add a big dollop of hummus to the middle, sprinkle with seeds and a big squeeze of lemon. Say out loud, or to yourself, “I am grateful for all that is”, while keeping good thoughts in your mind. Then dig in and nourish yourself everyday! Notes: Add in any vegetables you prefer….broccoli florets, sliced zucchini, radishes, bell peppers, artichokes hearts, olives, etc. In the cooler months try adding in roasted vegetables like sweet potato, butternut squash, broccoli, carrots, etc. You can also add in some fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro if you have them on hand. Sub in sunflower seeds and/or sesame seeds for the pumpkin seeds and hemp hearts. For the best chickpea flavor, try making them fresh at home. It’s really easy and nothing beats the freshness of homemade chickpeas! Enjoy and be grateful!
