Recipe Summary
As all great cooks know, not all salads are created equal. Some are barely more than piles of lettuce, others so packed with contrasting flavors it's like a traffic jam in your mouth. Not so in this gorgeous chopped salad from Bare Minimum Dinners, which features crispy roasted chickpeas, toasted pita bread croutons, and a jamboree of crunchy ingredients. Yes, the gang's all here: crunchy cucumbers, spicy radishes, and tart cherry tomatoes. Salty cheese ties the crisp flavors together, while a sprinkle of mint at the end brings welcome freshness to every bite. It's hearty enough to stand alone as a meal, but would be at home served alongside roasted chicken or grilled salmon, too.
