I’ll let you in on a must-try salad topping combo that will make you fall in love with salads, or at least have a major crush! It is…roasted chickpeas (aka: garbanzo beans) and nutritional yeast (aka: nooch). At 6 grams of protein in 1/4 C of chickpeas, it will help you fill up faster and tastes so fantastic!

Roasted Chickpeas Taste Better:

Chickpeas from a can are soft and squishy. But, once roasted, they add a nutty crunch. Use 1/4 cup per serving.

Using Nutritional Yeast:

The flaky nutritional yeast, adds a dusting of slightly cheesy, unami flavor. Use 1 teaspoon per serving.

The Heavenly Combo:

Once combined, roasted chickpeas and nutritional yeast, add a deeply satisfying flavor you’ll love on many salads. As a shortcut, you can find both at Whole Foods or your grocery store. I love the brand Saffron Road for chickpeas. The have fantastic flavors. It’s a great time saver and makes a great snack all on their own.
