Maybe you overdid it on the weekend, maybe you overdidn’t. Maybe you just want to reset with a light and bright meal. We’ve got you covered on all counts with this main-course salad that’s super satisfying. Our chefs made sure to pack it full of goodies to keep it interesting. Mixed greens combine with roasted carrots and chickpeas roasted with paprika until crisp. Feta cheese adds pockets of creamy, tangy richness. Toasted almonds give extra crunch on top. Tying everything together is a honey Dijon dressing that brings just the right amount of sweetness. This is a salad that deserves to be the main event.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and halve carrots lengthwise (quarter lengthwise for any larger carrots); dice into ½-inch pieces. Drain and rinse chickpeas; dry thoroughly with paper towels.
• Toss carrots on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. • Toss chickpeas on empty side with a drizzle of oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide between 2 sheets; roast chickpeas on top rack and carrots on middle rack.) • Roast on top rack until carrots are tender and chickpeas are browned and crispy, 18-20 minutes. (It’s natural for chickpeas to pop a bit while roasting.) • Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
• Heat a medium, dry pan over medium-high heat. Add almonds and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and toasted, 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• In a large bowl, toss together mixed greens and honey Dijon dressing. Once cooled, add half the roasted chickpeas and carrots. Toss to combine. • Divide salad between bowls. Top with remaining chickpeas and carrots. Sprinkle with feta and toasted almonds. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Roasted chickpeas may be my new favorite go-to protein. This was a fantastic twist on salad. It was the perfect mix of comfort foods: roasted carrots and chickpeas with the light and fresh feel of New Year's Resolution salad. Well done on this one! I was really short on time so I especially appreciated the pre-made honey mustard dressing.
Such an easy meal and so filling! The roasted/seasoned chickpeas on a salad, never have had this before. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. The roasted carrots made it so delicious. Although, I feel there should have been more carrots in the meal.
Left dressing off some of the greens and had it for lunch the next day. PS roasted carrots with garlic powder, paprika roasted garbanzos. Along with the tangy dijon dressing and punch of the feta, the flavor combos were lively and delish!
I eat meat and yet this meatless salad is great. Love the textures with the chickpeas and roasted carrots. And almonds. And feta. Yum
I really loved this salad, and it never occurred to me to roast chickpeas to add more texture and flavor to a salad without croutons. This was yummy. Will order again.
Seems it would have been much better to have the chickpeas arrive already roasted. Mine were smashed and then were difficult to dry and roast. Also need more almonds than were allocated. Overall loved the flavor combinations. Dijon dressing was a bit too heavy.
I don't have a working oven so instead the chickpeas & carrots were pan fried. We also added another can of chickpeas since chickpeas replaced meat in this meal. Overall, it was delicious despite some minor tweaking.
Loved this salad. Great for dinner and then lunches. Great crunch and flavor. Would never think to roast chickpeas
So amazing! We added chicken as a protein. The roasted chickpeas are another level of great. The dressing is phenomenal!
It was good but I do not recommend cooking the chickpeas and the carrots at the same time. To get the chickpeas crunchy I had to cook them longer so the carrots were pretty mushy.
