Ingredients

1 cup cooked chickpeas, roughly chopped

1 small head romaine lettuce, chopped (or 3 cups kneaded kale - kale massaged with extra-virgin olive oil)

1 cup diced celery

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup diced red cabbage

1 cup seeded and diced cucumber

1 cup chopped carrots

Whatever dressing makes you happy (a simple dressing of extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice adds a great zip)

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients except the dressing in a big salad bowl and toss. Add enough dressing to coat all the ingredients and toss again.
