This flavourful chickpea salad is packed with nutrients and anti-inflammatory goodness. It’s hearty enough to eat solo for lunch with a dollop of natural yogurt, or serve as a colourful side salad along with your favourite grilled mains.
What nutrients are we talking about?
Turmeric and raw extra virgin olive oil are known for their fantastic anti-inflammatory properties. Chickpeas are a rich source of fibre which has been linked to assisting anti-inflammatory processes, and cumin is traditionally used to support good digestion. This Moroccan Spice Salad is definitely a recipe you will FEEL GOOD about.
MEAL IDEA: Moroccan Spice Chickpea Salad + crispy-skin salmon with lemon-butter sauce.
