Notes
You can make the salad in advance, but in this case add the dressing just before serving!
Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking, or as Jennifer would like, and make it with less chickpeas.
I use DoTERRA essential cilantro oil in this recipe, and I'm serious about the quantity, one drop is enough! My bestie runs an online side business, and I always buy these oils from her. Feel free to skip this part, if you don't have cilantro or cilantro oil.
