Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • For the Dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the rinsed chickpeas thoroughly dry with a paper towel. This is key for crispiness!
  3. In a bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
  6. While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  8. Add the roasted crispy chickpeas to the salad.
  9. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!

Notes

  • For extra crispy chickpeas, ensure they are completely dry before roasting.
  • Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or avocado.
  • Adjust the dressing ingredients to your preference for sweetness or tanginess.
