Hello Foodie Friends!


Here is a new salad creation, this roasted chickpea super food salad in a jar! This is the perfect salad to eat on the go, at the park, at a picnic, cubicle lunch or even in the car while waiting to pick up the kids from school.


It is super easy to make, with ingredients you may have in your fridge and pantry. Use you favorite salad dressing and play around with your favorite veggies. For this salad combination I decided to go Mediterranean style, added the roasted chickpeas, quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes and a lemon dressing.


The fin part is layering the veggies and you may plate it or eat from the jar. I started with the dressing, then the cucumbers, tomatoes, quinoa, pickled red onions, roasted chickpeas and fresh arugula. This keeps well in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.

Here are my fave ingredients to elevate this mediterranean salad in a jar.

I love to layer the salad with arugula but romaine lettuce or butter lettuce will work as well.

The roasted chickpeas adds the amount of protein you need on this serving with lots of flavor and layer of crunchiness.

Colorful layers of healthy goodness all in one jar.

I hope you like this recipe.


Let's cook together and ELEVATE home cooked meals!
