  • 1/2 tsp fresh minced garlic

  • 2 cups chickpeas (canned or cooked from dried)

  • 1/4-1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro plus extra to garnish

  • 1 large english cucumber (spiralized)

  • 1/2 english cucumber, chopped

  4. Next, using a spiralizer or tool of choice (see post for options) curl one english cucumber and 2-3 large carrots (the biggest, thickest carrots you can find) into raw spiral noodles.

  5. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and pour over salad

  6. Top with extra chopped cilantro and a hearty sprinkle of sesame and chia seeds. If you're adding chopped nuts, toss those babies on top too and have at it!
