  2. In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spiralized sweet potatoes along with a teaspoon of turmeric. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender yet slightly firm.
  3. In the mixing bowl, add fresh spinach, canned chickpeas, and roughly chopped pistachios. Gently toss to mix well.
  4. Drizzle additional olive oil over the salad mix and season with salt to taste. Toss everything gently, ensuring even coating.
  5. Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving for a more developed flavor.
