I’m always up for a delicious salad, but at the end of the day, I often realize I didn’t eat enough veggies. In an effort to sneak more greens into my diet I wanted to make a healthy snack I could pack in my lunch.

As I brainstormed on what I could make that was loaded in veggies AND was delicious enough to make me excited to eat it – I came up with chickpea salsa! I was confident there would be loads of recipes on Pinterest, but as I scrolled around I realized I was wrong. So I hit the grocery store without a recipe and decided to wing it. And guess what?! It turned out to be an instant hit!

The fresh flavors combine to make an energizing snack that is perfect to pack in your lunch or serve at your next party! Plus, if you are like me and want to increase your veggie consumption you can’t go wrong with this delicious salsa!
