Moroccan chickpea salad with vegan chili dressing

For this post, I used my chia dressing over my Moroccan chickpea salad, and the spicy flavours go perfectly together. You can be experimental as you like with the salad ingredients- I always try to add as much colour as possible! I reckon some beetroot would taste great in this!
