When we think salad, why do images of leafy greens and croutons come to mind? What about pasta salads? Sure, there’s the ‘carb’ issue, but they’re still tasty. How about bean salads? Great! Tons of protein and they don’t get the recognition they deserve. But we’ve left out a category. How about the chorizo salads? Yes! Who knew that the hearty spicy sausage we usually see around breakfast time could make its way into a dinner salad?

Every where you go, you’ll find salads on the menu; even fast food joints are offering them! But you’ll only find this Warm Chorizo and Chickepea Salad on Andrea’s blog, Yes I Want to See the Dessert Menu. With her recipe, we can no longer say ‘there’s nothing to eat’ the next time we open the fridge and see a lonely sausage link staring at us! And what about those veggies that are on the verge of going bad, throw them into the salad too!

That’s basically what Andrea did when she thought-up her Warm Chorizo Chickpea Salad recipe. Inspired by a can of chickpeas and a few veggies, Andrea made a fresh salad that’ll definitely have you saying ‘chorizo’ the next time you want to make something lean but not too light. This is a salad that will actually fill you up :)!
