Ingredients
Creamy Ranch Dressing:

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Salad:
  • 1 19oz can(s) chickpeas (2 cups) drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup(s) grape or cherry tomatoes halved

Instructions
  • Add all of the ranch dressing ingredients to a small bowl and mix together. Set aside. 
  • Add the chickpeas to a saucepan with the BBQ sauce and put over medium heat. Let the chickpeas simmer in the sauce for about 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and sticks to the chickpeas. Remove from heat.
  • Divide the lettuce among two large bowls. Then divide all of the vegetable and the BBQ chickpeas on top of the lettuce. I like to pile each ingredient in its own section so it looks pretty, but you can arrange it however you like. Drizzle with creamy vegan ranch dressing and garnish with a wedge of lime.
Notes
Oil-free: to make oil-free use my vegan cashew ranch dressing.
