The Asian Chickpea Salad: I like the fresh combination of flavors in this salad. The Asian dressing perks everything up. And, with all these veggies, this salad is a great healthy potluck option. It makes a tasty main dish for me as a vegetarian, and it makes a wonderful side dish for the meat eaters. If you have vegan or gluten-free guests, this fits the bill for them as well.

I like to make it a day ahead, keeping the dressing separate in a small jar. Just pour the dressing on, and toss to combine when you’re ready to serve. It’s awesome that you can just take it out of the fridge and serve it; no need to worry about having enough oven space to heat it up at a crowded family dinner.

I also really like this salad as a nice lunch option. Brown bag it with a whole wheat pita or some whole wheat crackers for serving.
