SPICY CHICKEN & CHICKPEA SALAD
A delicious and healthy composed-style salad that you can make as spicy as you wish. I love the whole thing, but I especially love the bite of the lemon juice and chili oil in the green salad. And the chickpea salad is a meal in itself! Makes a great lunch or light dinner, substantial but not overly filling.

- If you don't have time to cook the chicken yourself, you can use rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
- Feel free to customize the salad to your liking. Add more or less vegetables, change the type of dressing, or add some chopped nuts or fruit.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
