Big Garden Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

A salad with enough crunch and protein to count as lunch. The dressing takes two minutes.

Ingredients

• 6 cups chopped romaine
• 1 English cucumber, sliced
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 can chickpeas, rinsed
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Combine the romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and chickpeas in a large bowl.
2. Shake olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper in a jar until creamy.
3. Toss the salad with half the dressing, then taste. Add more if you like.
4. Top with cheddar and serve right away.

Notes

Soak sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow the bite. Add grilled chicken or a soft-boiled egg for extra protein.
