Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the drained chickpeas on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the chickpeas are roasting, chop the romaine lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Add the Bacon and Cheese

    Add the crumbled bacon and blue cheese to the salad bowl with the chopped vegetables.

  4. 4

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, salt, and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Top with the roasted chickpeas just before serving.
