Chickpea salad with lemon vinaigrette and hemp hearts



The sun is finally shining today, so I was in the mood to make something super fresh and bright. This chickpea salad is full of fresh vegetables and herbs, and a homemade lemon vinaigrette that encourages a harmonious marriage of these bright and crisp flavours. I added in a generous handful of Planet Hemp Superfood Hemp Hearts to up the nutrients! Hemp hearts are full of protein and essential fatty acids, and they're super mild so they can be added to really anything. I love them! Thank you so much to Planet Hemp and Vista Magazine Canada for collaborating with me on this recipe.
