This is one of my go-to recipes to bring to family events, potlucks, and everywhere in-between! It’s amazing as a side dish but is also completely satisfying as a main course. I like to make it ahead of time so the flavors in the dressing have some time to meld together.

This Buffalo Chickpea Salad has familiar flavors, yet steps it up a few notches thanks to the healthy ingredients. But don’t let the nutrition fool you! This salad is just as delicious and satisfying as it is healthy!

I hold a special place in my heart for garlic scapes. They are only available for a few short weeks in June, so I make sure to stock up and freeze what I don’t need right away. That way, I can enjoy them all year! If you can’t find scapes or it’s not scape season, you can use garlic cloves as an easy substitute.

This recipe is amazing any time of year but is particularly magical when you can harvest garden-fresh kale and just-picked apples. But these ingredients are easy to get at any grocery store any time of year.
