Chickpea & Brown Rice Salad Bowl

We love a good salad bowl. This one has dry roasted chickpeas with a sprinkle of flavour & is then finished off with our gorgeous coconut yoghurt, lime and mint dressing. Delicious!

TIP: You can use coconut milk instead of yoghurt and if you don’t like mint, basil or coriander are fabulous substitutes>

Ingredients

1/4 cup of brown rice, cooked as per instructions

1/3 cup of tinned chickpeas, rinsed & dried well

1 large handful of salad greens

1 small cucumber, peeled into ribbons

1 small carrot, julienne

1 long green shallot / scallion, sliced lengthways

1/4 avocado, sliced or diced

Pinch of garam masala spice

Pinch of sea salt

Dressing

2 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut yoghurt

Zest of 1 lime

1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh lime juice

1 small clove of garlic, sliced

1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves

Pinch of sea salt

Method

Cook the rice as per instructions and set aside to cool a little.

In the meantime: make the dressing by putting all dressing ingredients into a *small blender & blitzing until well combined. We use Coyo coconut yoghurt which is quite thick and add 1 tbsp of water to get a more fluid consistency.

Prepare the salad ingredients and place them into a serving bowl.

Heat a small pan to a low-medium heat. If you have a good pan you won’t need any oil and can dry fry your chickpeas. If you need to just add a small coating of coconut oil to the pan to stop them from sticking and cooking too quickly. Cook for approx. 10mins. Add a pinch of sea salt & pinch of garam masala.

Add the brown rice and chickpeas to your serving bowl. Top with dressing and enjoy!

*Note if you don’t have a small blender you can use a mortar & pestle or just mince and chop your ingredients finely and mix together for the dressing.
