Friendsgiving Salad
Gluten/Dairy Chickpea Friendsgiving Salad. When gathering with family and friends, it's always nice to accommodate everyone's food needs with as little stress as possible. This salad can be a side or a main depending on the individual. For a “nut free” option, omit pecans or have them on the side. Free of gluten and dairy, but full of flavor! BTW- don’t forget the dried cherries, they definitely tell your friends you care about what you are serving them 🙂
