Summer is the perfect time to indulge in fresh, vibrant salads that are a delight for your taste buds and also nourish your body.
It’s summer and we’re excited to share a delicious Chickpea Salad recipe from the wonderful Dr. Monika Gostic.
Chickpeas are the star of this dish, and for a good reason! These little powerhouses are packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients that keep you full and energised. Combined with the rich, heart-healthy olive oil, you’re giving your body a dose of beneficial fats that support glowing skin and a healthy heart.
The salad is brightened up with juicy cherry tomatoes, bursting with antioxidants and vitamins, while creamy avocado adds a dose of healthy fats that help you absorb all those nutrients more effectively. Baby spinach is a leafy green loaded with iron and vitamins A, C, and K.
And of course, what’s a summer salad without a touch of zest? A squeeze of fresh lemon not only enhances the flavours but also boosts your immune system with a burst of vitamin C.
