BBQ Chickpea Salad

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add to saucepan with the BBQ sauce. Simmer over medium heat about 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and sticks to the chickpeas. Remove from heat. Chop up the Romaine lettuce, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, slice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion, if using. Divide the lettuce among either two large bowls (for a meal)or four small bowls (if using as a side salad). Pile each ingredient in it’s own section and drizzle with the ranch dressing. Garnish with a wedge of lime, if desired.
