Heyaaa. Check out this sexy salad over here. It’s got everything you ever wished for in a salad. It’s fresh, healthy, zesty, spicy, crunchy, colorful, minty, delicious, aaand pretty. Cuz’ we like our food pretty, don’t we? 😎

The spiciness it’s not a must of you’re not into all that. Just skip the “make it rain with chili flakes all over the place” step. Also, if fresh mint is not available, you can replace it with fresh basil. If none are available, replace with dried mint, but cut down the quantity by half.

I usually pan roast the chick peas when I use them for salads. It just cuts down the cooking time. However, you can oven roast them by drying out the chick peas, tossing them with olive oil and salt, and baking them 200 degrees C/400 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, or until golden. Toss them around every 10 minutes. Don’t use spices before placing them into the oven, as they have a big chance of burning. Instead, mix them with spices after they’re roasted. They make an awesome snack on their own.

So you’ll get a healthy, heavenly, delicious salad in about 25 minutes. Also, per portion, you’ll get 70 mg of vitamin C, 203 mg of Calcium, 21207 IU of vitamin A, 285 µg of folate, 223 mg of phosphorus, 133 mg of magnesium, and 2.2 mg of manganese. Healthy AF ✅.
