The Power Salad

Power Salad

‍

We often  feel like having a salad that is powerful enough to be both  nutritious and delicious. You might notice we are chickpea fans at Poquio’s Kitchen! Well, they are just so good for you and a great source of vitamins, protein, and fiber that we have no problem inviting them as much as we can. Here is one of our favorite salads that we are sure you are going to love as well.
