This chickpea Caesar salad is a healthy crunchy dish easily made with chickpeas, croutons and a creamy dressing. It can be served alongside a light meal either as lunch or as dinner.
1/2 cup cubed bread
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 bunches romaine lettuce, chopped
Homemade Caesar Dressing
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1.5 cups Tante's Chickpeas
1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives and 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the croutons. Place the bread cubes on the baking sheet, toss with olive oil and salt, and bake 10 minutes, until toasted.
Assemble the romaine on a platter. Drizzle with half the dressing, sprinkle with the radishes, croutons, and Tante's chickpeas, and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
Top with the cheese, chives, and pine nuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
