omg. this chickpea and rice salad is SO GOOD.
It's a meal-prep friendly chopped salad you must make immediately.
This salad is perfect because it will NOT get gross in the fridge after a couple days.
It actually gets better after a few days in the fridge. The apple cider vinegar dressing gets absorbed into the basmati rice, chickpeas and spinach and WOW.
