This salad is giant, fresh, and delicious—the perfect thing after a busy week of too many restaurants and rushed “lunches” made of snack foods. The dairy-free dressing is made creamy by blending in chickpeas, which I didn’t think of but which I think is total genius!

I pretty much blog every week without fail, even on … Continue reading Chicken & Black-Eyed Pea Chili
