Recipe: Roasted Broccoli and Chickpea Salad

My love for chickpeas knows no bounds, but I hadn’t roasted them for a while so when I needed a quick and easy salad the combination of roasted chickpeas and broccoli seemed too good to pass up. Nice and simple but packing a flavour punch thanks to the tangy dressing, this salad makes the perfect side dish at a BBQ or part of a lunchtime spread with friends and is equally delicious warm or cold. I think that’s called a winning combination!

Ingredients List

  • 1 large or 2 small heads of broccoli
  • Tin of chickpeas
  • 1/3 cup almonds
  • Juice of a half a lemon
  • 2 tbs dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1-2 tbs olive oil

  4. Dry roast the almonds in a small pan and leave to cool before roughly chopping
  5. Add the lemon juice, minced garlic and mustard into a small bowl and whisk well to combine. Slowly add the oil, whisking well until it reaches your desired consistency
