Instruções

Blend up your dressing of choice. I have the sun-dried tomato vinaigrette pictured here, but I have also tried this exact combo with my Parmesan vinaigrette, and it is VERY good.

In a large bowl add chickpeas, cannellini beans, tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, red onion, chicken, salami, cheeses and parsley. Add ¾ of the dressing and toss everything to combine. Taste and season with pinches of salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, per your taste. I like to serve with an extra drizzle of dressing and extra fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Muah! So fresh, nutritious and DENSE 😏

Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days. Excuse me while I go have a bowl of dense bean salad for lunch because it’s already prepped and ready to go in my fridge!!
