Chilli Chickpeas Salad

Salad lunches are always a favourite! On busy weekdays when a nutritious lunch is especially important, a yummy mix of healthy ingredients is often the easiest and quickest. 

Here it is, my CHILLI CHICKPEAS SALAD:

Ingredients for 2 bowls: 400g cooked chickpeas (canned chickpeas are great to save time), 1 firm ripe avocado chopped, handful of cherry tomatoes, a small red capsicum chopped, shredded red cabbage, salad leaves like lettuce, rocket, spinach. For seasoning, salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Make:

1. In a pan, use a little olive oil and saute chilli flakes. Put in the cooked chickpeas, a little salt and roast mildly to coat in the chilli infused oil. Add in red capsicum and toss together (without cooking further).

2. Use a salad serving bowl to assemble the salad. Start by laying salad leaves and shredded cabbage.  Then top with chilli chickpeas and red capsicum. Add more leaves and top with avocado and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
