Chickpea and herb salad

Chickpea and Herb Salad

serves 6

This is a great salad to serve with grilled meat or fish. I love having leftovers for lunch the next day.

 

 

Ingredients

400g tin chickpeas drained and rinsed
1 punnet cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped mint
1 cup chopped coriander
1 bunch spring onions sliced
Dressing
3 cloves garlic
80ml lemon juice
80ml olive oil
salt and pepper
1/2 teas cumin powder
1/2 teas paprika

Method

Place all the salad ingredients in a bowl toss well.
Place dressing ingredients in a screw top jar and shake well.
Pour dressing over salad.


I love this served with grilled chicken and warm arabic or pita bread. You can add a handful of baby spinach leaves or some fresh rocket.
