Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Serves 6

Ingredients
 

  • 500g CHICKPEAS: , Canned
  • 5 CARROTS: , I have used orange carrots however some purple carrots would be a lovely touch if you can find them at your grocer
  • 2 tbsp HONEY: , The secret ingredient to make this salad delicious
  • 2 tbsp SMOKED PAPRIKA & CUMIN: , Love these spices!
  • 1 small ONION: , Finely sliced
  • 200 grams ROCKET: , Freshly washed
  • 1 LEMON:, Squeezed
  • 1 CASPICUM: , Sliced finely
  • 1 cup DRIED CRANBERRIES:
  • 1 cup FRESH HERBS: , Your choice - coriandermint or fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven 200c. Line a baking tray. Slice the carrots in sticks and place in a bowl, along with the chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, honey and salt/pepper.
  • Roast in oven for approx 15 minutes until cooked. The colours will all combine and there will a lovely glaze over the carrots and chickpeas.
  • On a large platter, start with placing the rocket over the base. Then add your sliced red onion and capsicum
  • Place the roasted chickpeas and carrots on top.
  • Then sprinkle the cranberries and fresh herbs
  • Make the dressing - olive oil, lemon juice, a dash of honey and vinegar of your choice. I like apple cider vinegar. Shake in a jar and pour gently over the salad.
  • Tuck in and enjoy the goodness!
