Out Of The Pita, Into The Bowl: Crispy Chickpea Salad From Kitchy Kitchen

We've never met a chickpea creation we didn't like. From avocado toast to green "farm tacos," chickpeas add a punch of protein, extra texture, and subtle flavor that can turn even the most carnivorous of meat-eaters onto the powers of plant-based food. Today, we're sharing a refreshing recipe by our friend Claire Thomas of The Kitchy Kitchen: the crunch of the fried chickpeas paired with the slew of fresh herbs make this "deconstructed falafel sandwich" the perfect side salad for the end of summer. Whip this up for Labor Day and beyond... Falafel is one of my favorite meals. Crispy and fresh - and usually wedged between bright pickles, creamy tahini and fluffy pita - it's all about layering textures and flavors for the perfect combination. I took that idea out of the pita and into the salad bowl, and simplified things by using crispy fried chickpeas rather than balls of falafel. I'm pretty obsessed. It’s super fresh, a little spicy and just so good.
