What makes this salad so special

• You’re eating the rainbow: A chopped rainbow salad is a vegetable salad made with finely chopped ingredients so every bite contains a mix of flavours and textures. Finely chopping the ingredients creates a confetti-like mix that’s as beautiful to behold as it is to eat.
• It’s the perfect meal prep salad: Double or triple the ingredients for additional servings or to meal prep for your future self.
• It’s versatile: Add or subtract types of vegetables based on what you have in your crisper.
• It can be a meal salad: For a more substantial meal, spoon the salad over couscous or a baked potato.

Ingredient notes

• Pomegranate seeds add sweetness and crunch.
• Chickpeas provide plant-based protein.
• Mint and lime keep the salad fresh and bright.
