Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpea Dressing

    In a blender, combine the chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Romaine Hearts

    Wash and dry the romaine hearts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Parsnips

    Peel and thinly slice the parsnip into matchsticks. Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the parsnip slices until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Drizzle the chickpea dressing over the romaine hearts and toss gently to coat. Add the croutons, shaved pecorino Romano, crispy parsnips, and chopped parsley on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Finish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper and serve immediately.
