Chef's notes
You have two options for the dressing. One is vegan, and it's made in a blender with a cashew base. The other has a Greek yogurt base, and it's easy to stir together by hand. Both are creamy, tangy, and delicious.
This salad is a wonderful healthy lunch when topped with avocado and chickpeas.
