A tasty and delicious salad that is loaded with flavor! This Tomato Basil Crispy Chickpea Salad is gluten-free, vegan, and a great meatless Monday dish.

I have been making this salad all week long and seriously can’t get enough of it. The tomato basil combo is a favorite of mine but of course, avocados just elevate it a tad more.

This salad also has the saltiness from the olives, crunchiness from the cucumbers and radishes, and gut-friendly probiotics from the sauerkraut. To make it a meal, I added some roasted crispy chickpeas for some protein. You can swap for any protein of choice or omit the protein if you’re enjoying this as a side salad.

Here’s what you need:

Red leaf lettuce
Avocados
Pitted green and castelvetrano olives
Tomatoes
Sauerkraut
Olive oil
Lemon
Basil
Balsamic glaze
Cucumbers
Radishes
Chickpeas
Dried thyme
