Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 4 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 large fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • 8 oz. spiralized zucchini, cut with the thin setting, and cut into 6-inch lengths

Directions

  1. For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Add the basil and whisk lightly. Divided the dressing between 2 quart-size mason jars.

  2. For the salad: Dividing the ingredients evenly, layer the salad ingredients into the jars in this order: chickpeas, red onion, tomatoes, arugula, and zucchini noodles. Refrigerate until ready to eat. The salads will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

  3. To serve, shake well, and then pour into a large bowl or dish. Let it sit 4-5 minutes to let the zucchini soak in the lemony vinaigrette.
