Apple Broccoli Chickpea Salad

Enjoy a healthy apple broccoli salad with chickpeas, dried cranberries or raisins, pecans or walnuts, and a delightful avocado vinaigrette. This versatile dish works wonderfully as a lunch or a side salad and keeps well in the refrigerator for several days, making it perfect for leftovers. For easier digestion, I prefer to blanch the broccoli, but it can also be enjoyed raw. An added benefit is the protein from the chickpeas. Simply toss all the ingredients together in a bowl to create this delicious salad.
