Summer wouldn't be official without a giant healthy salad
Just like my previous "Colour-Me-Happy Salad", this Chicken, Avocado, and
Chickpea Salad has lots of fresh colourful vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals
In this bowl is 3 cups leafy green lettuce and 2 cups spring mix greens, 3/4 cup
1/2 sliced cucumber, 1/4 cup diced red onion, and broccoli sprouts
All that's missing is a light and flavourful dressing
Curry Mustard Dressing
1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp yellow mustard, 2 tsp dried
parsley or basil (or 1 Tbsp fresh parsley or basil) 1-2 tsp curry powder, 1/4 tsp paprika,
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, pinch of black pepper and salt, and a dash of stevia to sweeten
Then pour over salad, mix, and serve

I don't know what it is about fresh avocados that just makes me drool! mmmmmm
I love that salad! Chickpeas and avocado: super ingredients!
That curry-mustard dressing looks delicious! I'll have to try this salad out soon.
Mmm I've been eating a ton of chickpeas lately- making random hummus variations mostly though. I haven't had them on a salad in awihle! I like the curry mustard combo :0
I really really love the mix of ingredients here!
fab idea with the dressing I love chickpeas!!
Yum! I love big salads in the summertime (minus the chicken). :)
That one looks great, and I really need to get better about adding curry powder to recipes. Have you ever had curried egg salad? Delicious.
This looks like an awesome recipe. Can't wait to try it.
That is one healthy salad! It looks delicious!
What an amazing looking salad! Love chickpeas and avocados together!
Big salads just speak summer, don't they? My latest favorite is romaine topped with lima beans, black sesame seeds, hemp seeds, something pickled, and doused in balsamic vinegar and tamari soy sauce :)
Love this dressing idea! I'm always making my own dressings, but I've never tried one with curry powder and mustard in it. It sounds fabulous!
I absolutely LOVE large yummy salads and this one looks perfect!
Great photos!I have never tried the chickpea & avacado combo. Looks like one for my books!
Looks wonderful! :D
I absolutely ADORE huge salads like this! They are totally what summer is all about.
Curry mustard dressing!!!!!?? AWESOME.
Sounds awesome...but why do you never use olive oil?
Oh that looks like a delicious salad! I love having a huge salad for lunch! And what a great dressing! I rarely make my own dressings but I'm going to have to try this one!
I need more sprouts in my life.
PS- LOL @ anonymous comment. I get those all the time. Um...because I don't want to!! Because I didn't feel like it!
man, that looks delicious!!!!
This looks like a wonderful summer salad. :)
For quite some time...I wouldn't touch a salad. I didn't like them. But since moving to Texas, I've become addicted to a big, cool bowl of greens. This looks so delicious! And thanks for making me smile tonight (you always do), and I hope you are having a week full of love and joy. Hugs and love.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am glad to have discovered yours!
That is one awesome looking salad! And the dressing...sounds delicious.
Looks Amazing!! All of my favorite things in one bowl. Can't wait to try it. :)
