Ingredients
  

  • This bowl comes together from a few key components each pulling their own weight. Here's what you need:
  • The Base Components
  • 1 batch of The Easiest 20-Minute Buffalo Chickpeas
  • 1 batch of The Best Vegan Ranch you likely won't use it all save the rest
  • 1 head of romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber diced
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced (or swap in Quick Pickled Red Onion for extra tang)
  • Optional Add-In
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice Minute Rice works great if you're short on time

Equipment

  • This recipe doesn't ask for anything fancy. Here's what to have ready:
  • 1 large sheet pan (for roasting the buffalo chickpeas)

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Make the Buffalo Chickpeas
  2. Start with a batch of The Easiest 20-Minute Buffalo Chickpeas on your sheet pan. These need the most time, so get them going first. The smell alone will have you checking the oven every five minutes.
  3. Step 2- Whip Up the Vegan Ranch
  4. While the chickpeas cook, make The Best Vegan Ranch. If you're using pickled red onion instead of raw sliced onion, throw together a Quick Pickled Red Onion at the same time. Multitasking pays off here everything finishes around the same time.
  5. Step 3- Prep Your Veggies
  6. Chop the romaine lettuce, dice the cucumber, and slice the red onion while everything else cooks. This step takes maybe five minutes and keeps things moving efficiently. No need to be precious about your knife skills here.
  7. Step 4- Assemble the Bowl
  8. Once everything finishes cooking, combine the romaine, cucumber, red onion, buffalo chickpeas, and rice (if using) in one large bowl. Drizzle the vegan ranch on top until it's dressed exactly how you like it. Toss well and dig in.
