So it's been a while... I've been on a recipe slump, since it's been January in Chicagoland & today's a record-breaking blizzard... But I made a great health decision & decided to go back to salads for the new year! I've been making various salads like crazy, and loving them. Now, I used to hate salad because I have never been a fan of leafy greens. Yes, I eat a green salad every day for lunch (typically with kale... mmmm, kale...) Kale is one leafy green I actually like.
But green, leafy salads get boring fast. What I like is some variety! I enjoy a leafy-green-free salad for dinner... perhaps it's actually called a Slaw, like coleslaw. Whatever. It's delicious, low fat, and filling!
Celery-Chickpea Salad
3/4 cup Chickpeas
3/4 -1 cup chopped celery
1 medium carrot, sliced in thin rounds
1/3 small yellow onion, diced tiny
1 -2 clove(s) garlic, diced tiny
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp agave nectar or maple syrup
1/2 tsp dill (dried)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Mix well. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least an hour. It is delicious after marinading!
Note: If you're on a totally raw diet, replace the chickpeas with crushed walnuts!
