Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients. (Note: for a honey mustard flair, add 1 teaspoon of yellow or Dijon to the mix). Add additional vinegar or splashes of water to reach desired consistency.

Notes
Notes: Traditional broccoli salads add in cooked bacon pieces or cheddar cheese but we loved this without! For an added level of crunch you can swap the canned chickpeas out for roasted.
For an extra protein boost, you can sub half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
