Chopped Chickpea Salad

I love the soluble fiber chickpeas pack, great for feeding good gut bacteria and preventing the growth of good gut bugs (prebiotics)! This is one of my fave summer salads, but it can be made year-round. Grab some chips!

 

 

TIPS & TRICKS

 

 

1. Don’t use canned chickpeas if not tolerated. I recommend soaking dried chickpeas overnight, then cooking them in the instant pot with one sheet of kombu to improve tolerance. 

2. If using canned chickpeas, buy BPA-free cans to prevent endocrine disruption.
