This healthy Chickpea Caesar Salad is a perfect meal on its own or a great side dish to add to your plate. Great on its own or add your favorite protein to the salad.
This salad has been my go-to quick salad lately. It’s a great easy weekday meal to that I can throw together that with my pantry staples. I’m obsessed with crispy chickpeas – they’re the perfect protein and fiber packed alternative to croutons. When pair them with a homemade Creamy Tahini Caesar dressing, it makes for the perfect crave-worthy combination.
ADD YOUR FAVORITE PROTEIN
I love using the base of this recipe then adding some extra protein like salmon, steak, shrimp or my current go to: air fried chicken breast seasoned with some adobo and sriracha. It gets cooked in the air fryer for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees and makes for a great paring to the chickpeas and caesar dressing.
