Chickpea & Carrot Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette
This month’s Chef’s Corner recipe is compliments of the creative PCC culinary team. We have recently added this savory salad to our Garden Salad Box Lunch. It offers a boost of protein and adds a zing to a green salad or is delicious all on its own. This recipe yields ten 4 ounce portions, so it is ideal if you like to prep your meals to last you throughout the week. Enjoy!
