  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 cups arugula, washed and dried
  • ½ cup cooked orzo
  • ¼ cup castelvatrano olives, sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss the carrots in 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast 20-30 minutes, checking regularly after 20 minutes to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  2. Drop the oven temperature to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat dry with a paper towel. Make sure the chickpeas are dry, otherwise, they won’t crisp up in the oven. Arrange chickpeas on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoons olive oil, curry powder, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt. Roast for 15-20 minutes, shaking the pan frequently.
  3. Make the dressing. Assemble all ingredients in a mason jar, cover, and shake well. Adjust flavors to your personal preference.
  4. Assemble the salad. Combine all ingredients and top with the lemon herb dressing.
