If you're stuck for lunch ideas, and all you can find is a can of chickpeas try this super quick salad. Just boil the chickpeas in tea for extra flavour and health benefits! Chickpeas are a great source of protein so are great to include in vegetarian dishes like this one for a non-meat alternative protein source. They’re also full of fibre, magnese and folate which are vital for staying healthy. Cherry tomatoes are a great addition to this dish as they’re full of vitamin C to help ward off those colds, as well as vitamin K, potassium and folate. Providing plenty of flavour in this dish is the dressing made from garlic, onion, coriander and plenty of olive oil, mustard cream and seasoning. Never has a salad tasted so flavoursome – you’ll never go back to soggy lettuce again!
