EVERYTHING PROTEIN SALAD
This recipe was created when I made a salad by combining some of my favorite things (feta cheese, avocado, and chickpeas), but after creating the base of this salad, I realized it needed a little more protein to make it properly satiating. So, I added some chicken and egg for protein and some sweet potato for extra flavor. To be honest, this is one of my favorite recipes.
