This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I had some roasted broccoli and carrots, and they were perfect in this salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beans. I had a can of chickpeas and a can of black beans in my pantry, and this recipe was the perfect way to use them up. The salad was delicious and healthy, and it came together in no time.
