Healthy Greek Chickpea Salad with Creamy Green Goddess Dressing

Happy New Years Friends! This is the best time to jumpstart our health and start feeling good in our bodies after a month long holiday indulgence. I know I just crave tons of vegetables this time of year and trust me they make me feel so much better. I hope you enjoy this recipe and can start feeling good in your body. This is a great recipe that is gluten free and can be made vegan if you chose to do so.

This amazing salad is packed with fresh ingredients, bold flavours and I am seriously addicted! Paired with my fav dressing, it is literally the bomb. You will want to put it on everything including vegetables, salads, even dips!

If you find yourself snacking but never really feeling satisfied, you probably need to load up on some veggies and protein, this recipe is packed with both. You can also add in cooked chicken breast for even more healthy lean proteins. My Healthy Greek Chickpea Salad is the ultimate quick lunch fix, and trust me you will want to try it too!
