Crunchy chopped salad with pears
This salad from Kale Me Maybe is a spin on a classic Italian chopped. This one is meat-free, so it’s vegan- and vegetarian- friendly. It’s loaded with fibre, thanks to the pears and the chickpeas, and it can be served as a main meal or as an appetizer. Serve it fresh or keep the dressing on the side until you’re ready to enjoy.
