Ingredients

15 oz can chickpeas drained then rinsed
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
9 oz chopped romaine lettuce
2 oz salami chopped, Applegate Naturals recommended
2 oz can sliced black olives drained
1/2 pint cherry or grape tomatoes chopped
1/4 cup banana pepper rings chopped
2 green onions chopped
1 lemon OR red wine vinegar
pinch dried oregano
1 avocado chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees then line a baking sheet with a silpat, parchment paper, or foil and set aside. Pat garbanzo beans very dry on a kitchen towel then add to prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and salt then toss to evenly coat and roast for 30-40 minutes or until dark golden brown. Chickpeas will crisp as they cool and can be made a couple days ahead of time.
In a large bowl combine lettuce, salami, black olives, tomatoes, banana pepper rings, and green onions. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice or red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano, and then toss to coat. Add crispy chickpeas and avocado then mix gently to combine. Divide salad between plates then serve.
