Crispy Chickpea Salmon Caesar Salad

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I love a flavorful caesar salad! This take on the classic caesar uses crispy oven roasted chickpeas instead of croutons. Chickpeas are so versatile and add another level of nutrients to this salad. The salmon is the perfect addition to round out this salad that would be perfect for lunch or dinner! You can prepare your salmon whichever method you prefer. I oven roasted mine but the skillet, broiler or grill would work just as well. Choose your favorite caesar dressing, grab a glass of your go to white wine and DIVE IN!

Notes

  • You will have leftover spice blend left. What a gift am I right?! Store in your pantry and use it on all your favorite things! It would be great on chicken, pork, fish, veggies…whatever you want to try it on! I call for 1/2 tsp cayenne in this blend because I enjoy that extra kick of spice, but if you are not a fan of that much spice, feel free to decrease to 1/4 tsp or you could omit completely.
