Buffalo Chickpea Salad

These roasted buffalo chickpeas are great on top of this salad, thrown into a tacos, or just great on their own! I love making this buffalo chickpea salad for an easy 20 minute meal or for a vegan meal prep for the week! I think the chickpeas pair well with a bunch of veggies or just a few. They have a lot of flavor so you could just toss them on a bed of greens with a dressing! You can’t go wrong!

Recipe Tips:

I like to pat the chickpeas dry before roasting them. I think it allows them to get crispier! I also like to do that with tofu. Skipping that step is definitely fine if you’re in a time crunch but it does help with the crisp factor.

For the vegan butter, I like Kite Hill vegan butter! It melts well + tastes super good. You can replace with coconut oil but I like the taste of butter better!
