Chopped Salad with Chickpeas



This is a simple, healthy and tasty salad that I like to serve with falafel or pizza. With a food processor, it'll be ready from start to finish within fifteen minutes.

Ingredients
  • 1/4 head of cabbage, trimmed and chopped into pieces that will easily fit through food processor sleeve
  • 3 cups romaine lettuce, very thinly chopped
  • 3 cups iceberg lettuce, very thinly chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, trimmed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 medium carrots, trimmed, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • 1 medium cucumber, seeded and cut into quarters
  • 1 red onion, peeled and cut into quarters
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Dressing:
  • 1/4 extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Recipe 

Insert the medium slicing disc into food processor. 

Prepare the veggies, except romaine and iceberg lettuces, so they will fit through sleeve of food processor.

Add cabbage, celery, carrots, cucumber and onion through sleeve of food processor and slice all ingredients on high.


Transfer salad mixture to a large bowl. Add thinly sliced romaine, iceberg, and chickpeas and toss.

Put all dressing ingredients into a small bowl and stir until fully blended. Then add dressing to salad mixture; and toss all ingredients together.
