I love chickpeas! I could happily just snack on them and not make anything with them. But that would be plain lazy, so I made this really fresh salad with a zingy dressing.


Chickpea and Tomato Salad

Ingredients

240g chickpeas
1 small red onion
1 avocado
½ cucumber
6 baby plum tomatoes (or other small, sweet tomatoes)
handful fresh coriander

Lemon & Honey Dressing

2tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tbsp honey
1 clove garlic, crushed
salt & pepper

Method

1. Add all the dressing ingredients to a bowl and whisk to amalgamate.
2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, tip them into a bowl along with the chopped onion, and chopped avocado. 
3. Cut the cucumber lengthways, scoop out the seeds, slice and add to the mixture, along with chopped tomatoes and coriander.
4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix well.
5. Enjoy!

I added feta to our second serving of the salad. It made the salad even more delicious.
