Quick "whatcha got in your pantry" salad



This is a quick healthy salad packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and nutrition galore!   What I especially love about it is that you can easily substitute many of the items with what you may have in your pantry at any given time.  Also, fresh garlic will punch up the flavor but I opted for powdered since I've got class after lunch today and will be breathing around other people!  So, here's my version of the pantry salad... let me know what different combinations you try and how they turn out!

-1 can Eden organic chickpeas
-1 Tbsp yellow mustard
-1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
-handful finely chopped cilantro
-1/4 cup purple cabbage shredded thinly
-1/4 cup cauliflower chopped into bite-sized pieces
-1/2 tsp curry powder
-1/3 tsp garlic powder
-handful of dried mulberries (one of the few dried fruits that are low in sugar at about 2g per 1/4 cup serving AND help regulate blood sugar!)
-sea salt to taste
