🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, skip the cheddar or use a plant-based cheese; for nut-free needs, keep the sunflower seeds or swap in pumpkin seeds if preferred. To make it vegetarian, replace the chicken with extra chickpeas or another protein like tofu.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm pita, crusty bread, or a simple tomato soup to round out the lemony salad and make it feel more filling. A crisp white wine or sparkling water with citrus also works well with the bright, savory flavors.
