Mixed Greens Chickpea and Radish Salad
It’s starting to get cold here in Gettysburg, PA and I’ve been making a lot of soups. But, I say….”it’s never too cold for a salad”…..you can “warm’ it up with Fall vegetables. I made this salad with mixed greens and radishes since they are easily found this time of year. You can mix it up however you like…..add in some roasted root vegetables like sweet potato or butternut squash with black beans instead of chickpeas. Be creative!. This salad has a nice balance of protein, fiber, healthy fats and phytonutrients from the greens and veggies. Enjoy!
