Ingredients
  

4 cups mixed spring greens (arugula, spinach, baby kale)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1 avocado, diced

½ cup radishes, thinly sliced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup crispy chickpeas (store-bought or homemade)

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

1 lemon, zested and juiced

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Greens: Rinse the mixed spring greens under cold water and spin dry in a salad spinner. Place them in a large salad bowl.

    Chop and Slice: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, diced avocado, sliced radishes, and red onion to the bowl with the greens. Toss gently to combine.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well emulsified. Adjust seasoning to taste and add red pepper flakes if desired.

        Add Crunch: Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is coated. Sprinkle over the crispy chickpeas and crumbled feta cheese for an added crunch and flavor.

          Serve: Serve immediately while the chickpeas are still crispy to enjoy that delightful crunch in every bite.
