Spicy Chicken & Chickpea Salad image

A delicious and healthy composed-style salad that you can make as spicy as you wish. I love the whole thing, but I especially love the bite of the lemon juice and chili oil in the green salad. And the chickpea salad is a meal in itself! Makes a great lunch or light dinner, substantial but not overly filling.
