Chopped Chickpea Salad

I am pretty excited about this week's lunches! I had a request to do something vegetarian - that's right, I take requests AND someone requested something. Pretty cool, eh? I mean, it was my cousin but I'm still putting a check in the cool column. Thanks Rach!


So, I don't really have a recipe, but I can tell you what I put in this jar! It all starts with my friend Annie:
 ^Seriously one of the best salad dressings I've ever tasted. But I can only find it at Wegmans. I've looked for it at Target, Giant, Safeway, Harris Teeter...but Weggies never lets me down. I made 5 salads, so after the dressing, the layers go like this in each jar:
1/2 cup chickpeas
1/8 cup dried cranberries
1.5 chopped peppers divided
1 chopped cucumber divided
2 oz goat cheese

Go crazy and swap out whatever you don't like with something you do! Some sort of nut would probably have been nice. Or maybe some sunflower seeds???? That could have been fun. Next time!

  1. Do you eat it out of the Ball jar?

    1. Nah. Usually I dump it onto a plate or bowl. Just goes in the jar for convenient transportation purposes

  2. They're so pretty! I always make salads like this and then end up ignoring them for something with meat.

    1. Thanks! I've done that before, but I ate these every day! It was the goat cheese, mmmmm!
