    💡Give it room in the pan: crowded vegetables steam instead of browning.
  2. 4
    Arrange the spinach leaves in a large bowl.
  3. 5
    Add the chickpeas and the sweet potato, nuts and raisins.
    💡Rinse canned chickpeas in cold water: their liquid is starchy and salty and clouds the dressing.
  4. 6
    Pour in the dressing and toss.
