Warm and baked salads have been trending so I knew I had to try one. This Warm Baked Cabbage, Carrot & Chickpea Salad (vegan) is my take on a warm, baked salad. This salad is so good and easy to make.
The best part of this salad is the dressing. The scallions get sweet as they are based and pair so well with the basil dressing. Chickpeas, cucumber and pistachios add a nice crunch. The chickpeas and pistachios also add a protein boost to this salad.
I love a good warm salad recipe. For more warm salad recipes try my warm broccoli crunch salad or my warm cauliflower salad.

- It is gluten free, vegan and dairy free.
- Since it is baked it is the perfect fall and winter salad.
- Thanks to the chickpeas it is high in protein.
- It is full of veggies and high in fiber.
