Today we have salad in a jar because it looks pretty and to mix it up a little. This salad contains sweet potatoes, roasted chickpeas und crunchy lettuce. I got inspired by the “best of vegan salad jar” contest on Instagram and this recipe is also my entry.
Chickpeas contain lots of protein, vitamin b, fiber and are rich in amino acids. Together with sweet potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber they make one balanced meal.
