Spicy Moroccan Chickpea Salad
I served this as a side dish with lamb curry recently (more about the curry later) and it’s another one of those that has a pretty high wow factor, and that you can serve with almost anything, but that you can pull together in a few effortless minutes.
Ingredients
Cooks in: Serves:4
- 1 tin chickpeas, drained
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- Half a red pepper, chopped
- 1 ripe avo, diced
- Half round feta, crumbed
- 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
- Handful each of chopped mint/parsley/basil/coriander or preferably all four
- I had a half-full tin of whole kernel sweetcorn in the fridge that I added in as well
- Juice of 1 lemon/lime
- S + P to taste
- Optional: 1 clove chopped garlic (though, really, is garlic ever optional?)
What to do
Throw all the ingredients together (And don't let my casual approach reflect on the respect that I have for this delicious dish) The colours are gorgeous and that's just the start...
