Preparation

Step 1

Place lettuce on a plate and top with apple, egg, rinsed and drained chickpeas, carrot and peppers; toss with vinegar and oil and season to taste.

Swaps:
Try chopped skinless chicken breast; firm, cubed tofu; or canned tuna (packed in water) instead of or in addition to the eggs and chickpeas. Use fat-free salad dressing instead of oil and vinegar.

Flavor Boosts:
Fresh herbs, capers and/or lemon zest

Restaurant Tip:
Look at all the salads they offer to see ingredient swaps you can ask for, such as chopped grapes, roasted beets and canned artichoke hearts instead of croutons, regular cheese and nuts.
