Roasted Carrot and Chickpea Salad with Orange Ginger Cashew Dressing {Meal Prep}

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Place the carrots on one side of a large sheet pan and the chickpeas on the other side.  Drizzle with olive oil and desired amount of spices and gently toss until coated.  Bake until carrots are tender and chickpeas are crispy, about 35 minutes.

Step 2

Add all dressing ingredients to a jar and either shake or whisk until creamy.  Portion dressing out into 4 small containers.

Step 3

Assemble the bowls: in each bowl or airtight meal prep container add 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, 1/4 of the carrots, 1/4 of the chickpeas and about 1 cup of baby arugula.

Step 4

Salads will stay good in the refrigerator for 4 days.  If you are worried about the arugula wilting, don’t put it in until the morning of.  Pour dressing over salad just before enjoying.
