Cucumber Noodle Salad with Salmon and Chickpeas

One of the biggest complaints I see on gluten-free forums is that people are tired of only having salads are gluten-free options at restaurants and I get it. When I go out to eat, I do not want a salad. I’m not engaging in “risky” behavior for a salad. At home however, I am a salad queen. I am always throwing together vegetables and chowing down. My newest favorite salad to make? This Cucumber Noodle Salad with Salmon and Chickpeas.

Why do I love it? Well for one, if you haven’t tried cucumber noodles, you’re missing out. Additionally, the chickpeas and salmon add contrasting texture and flavors that really help pull this ensemble together. Lastly, if you choose to make the very simple tahini dressing to top it all off, well let’s just say, this salad is about to be a favorite in your salad rotation!

If you want a nutrient dense and delicious salad, this Cucumber Noodle Salad with Salmon and Chickpeas is for you. It’s rich in calcium, iron, protein, omega-3s, and so much more.
