Directions
- Wash the produce and dry it well; set aside if pre-washed.
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then let them drain further in the colander.
- In a large salad bowl, whisk together the yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Core the Gala apples, cut each into 1/2-inch dice, and add to the dressing bowl.
- Trim the celery ends, then dice the stalks into 1/2-inch pieces and add to the bowl.
- Halve or quarter the grapes depending on their size, and mix them in.
- Roughly chop the walnuts and add them to the bowl.
- Add the chickpeas to the bowl and toss everything until the dressing coats the ingredients well.
- Spread the spinach on plates and top with the chickpea mixture; serve right away.
Two tips
- Make ahead: dress and prep the chopped produce up to 1 day in advance, refrigerate, then toss with the chickpeas just before serving.
- Serving idea: serve the salad over a bed of spinach or as a standalone bowl for a light lunch.
