Not sure what to make for lunch this week? Try this protein infused greek salad. The chickpeas will give you the extra energy needed to get you through those long work day (and then make it to the barre after ;) ) and the sunflower seeds add a nice satisfying crunch. Make a big batch of this salad to last you the entire week, just leave the dressing on the side.
