Ingredients
- 2 1/2 ounces fresh mozzarella balls, (drained)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup no-salt-added canned chickpeas, (drained)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, (extra-virgin)

- freshly ground pepper, (to taste)
- 12 ounces fresh baby spinach
Instructions
- Combine the mozzarella balls, tomatoes, and chickpeas in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper.
