(Little) Green Goddess Chickpea Salad

(Little) Green Goddess Chickpea Salad is such a delight for summer, and I hope you love it as much as we do. This is a super popular dish that Kitchkat makes a version of for our delivery collaboration. We’ve adapted it to fit all of Little Green’s cleansing requirements: vegan, gluten-free, seasonal, fresh, and delicious.

My favorite thing about this dish is the fresh herbs. If you have herb pots in your garden, you can use any herbs to make the Green Goddess Dressing. Other greens can be substituted for the arugula, too….dandelion greens or spinach would be delicious. It’s versatile and healthy and tastes of summer.

Chickpeas are our fave, too. Just look at our last blog post to learn more about them. They are easy, full of protein, and absorb flavors so well.

I’ve made this recipe open to the public…so I hope you all can enjoy!

p.s. We are offering DC-area FOOD DELIVERY from July 19-25! Check it out!
