It’s really amazing what you can make with the ingredients you already have in your cupboard. Here I was thinking that I’d have to go to the shops to buy some food to make something, and then I come up with something so tasty and amazing as these BBQ Chickpea Salad Bowls!
You could mix these up as much as you like, and add other things – avocado would be really great! Some cucumber in the salad would be a lovely addition too.
The dressing. OMG the dressing. I’m a bit in love with it. You could put in on other salad, or it would be yummy on a pumpkin soup, or our Korma Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. Or roast veggies, or burgers. I think I should do up a whole separate blog post just for this dressing!
If you’re a chickpea lover, check out our Butternut Pumpkin and Chickpea Curry (a winter favorite!), or our Chickpea, Pumpkin and Dill Burgers.
