this salad is not only heavenly, not too sinful but it’s also packed fulla protein and vitamin B12 which is wonderful if u r a vegan! I am always mindful of creating and curating recipes that help me reach ma nutrient requirements and this is a super tasty way of doing just that!smoky chickpea orzo saladserves 3 as a light lunch or 2 for dinneringredients:chickpeas:1 tin chickpeas1 tsp paprika½ tsp coarse sea saltglug olive oil salad: 1 cup orzo chopped romaine lettuce nutritional yeast for toppingdressing:veganaise (or any vegan mayo alternative) olive oil1 garlic clove apple cider vinegarlemon 6 basil leaves1. Preheat ur oven to 200*. Coat 1 tin of drained chickpeas in olive oil, sea salt and paprika. Give these a good rub and mix around. Bake for 35 minutes or until their skins are crisp and starting to burst. (these also make a 10/10 protein packed snack) 2. Boil 500ml of salted water to the boil. Drop in yr orzo and cook according to packing instructions. Drain this once cooked and give it a good rinse with cold water so it doesn’t ruin your lettuce! 3. In a small blender blitz yr dressing ingredients - if yr not mad on garlic i would either leave it out entirely as this certainly packs a punch. ( a delicious punch in my opinion). Remove yr chickpeas from the oven (now all the prep is over, thank god, just have to chuck the lot in a bowl now).4. in a salad bowl add your orzo, chopped romaine, then chickpeas mix ur dressing in and give the whole lot a good toss. Drop yr chickpeas on top and voila dinner/lunch is served. -- source link
