Caro Hodgin says:

i just used grilled chicken instead of chickpeas to make a healthy chicken caesar and i loved it. really delicious dressing.

Katie Hason says:

The Caesar chickpea salad was so yummy! The avocado dressing was different, but delicious. I loved using Greek-style yogurt, it's such a versatile ingredient and I try to use it as much as possible. It made the dressing extra creamy, that's for sure. Awesome salad!

Laura Griffin says:

I'm not a huge salad person but I live this right here! It was so delicious. I have to put avocado on everything, so that's what sold me. Avocado dressing and chopped avocado tossed in was a win win. Great recipe.
