\"I'm not a big salad person -- and this one is like amazing,\" she said of this dish for day five. \"The dressing so good. It's really simple and it holds up in the fridge for a long time. I absolutely love that and it's a plant based option which a lot of people were asking about.\"
Plus, she shared her secret for actually crispy chickpeas: \"Cook them in the air fryer.\"
\"Wash off the chickpeas, pat them dry with a paper towel, season them with all the seasonings, toss it in some olive oil or avocado oil and then put it in the air fryer\" lined with a piece of parchment paper, she suggested, \"for 18 to 20 minutes.\"
