This warm farrow salad makes for a healthy, balanced meal without requiring much time and effort. Full of flavor and texture, this dish is a perfect weekday lunch or dinner! The chickpeas are vital, but feel free to play with the other vegetables in the dish! I usually use whatever fresh produce I have on hand, and it turns out great every time. The recipe includes broccoli, spinach, and peas, but asparagus and bell peppers also fit into the dish wonderfully.
