Recipe Notes

Two of the world’s best foods together in a light spring salad: salmon and chickpeas. Fiber, monounsaturated fat, fresh veggies all in one salad bowl.

"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."

Mario Batali, Chef
