I've been transitioning into WFPB since May 2020. Inspired by your delicious recipe I added Dolce, Nori and Sea Salt to my Chickpea Salad. My husband was extremely satisfied with our lunch plate today. Thanks to you and husband for making this website filled with delicious, healthy eating alternatives.
