Hi there,
so today I want to show you the recipe for this amazing colorful summer salad with chickpeas and pomegranate. It is not only pretty it is also very good for you: the chickpeas have a lot of iron, calcium and protein and the pomegranate has a lot of B-vitamins and iron too. That's why this salad is very good for vegetarian and also vegan (just do the recipe without feta-cheese) people, it gives you a lot of nutrients that are in meat, fish, milk, eggs,... .
I love this salad on hot days because it is so refreshing and also easy to prepare!
In the last months I made this salad a lot for friends that came for dinner/lunch. I served it as a side dish and everyone loved it!!
Ingredients: 2 cans (250g) chickpeas
1 pomegranate
1 cup cherry tomatos
150g feta cheese
1 small red onion
1 bunch of parsley/cilantro
Dressing: 1 garlic clove (use as much as you want)
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
the juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp honey
salt and pepper
Before I start with the instructions a little tip on how to get the seeds out of the pomegranate because it is kind of tricky and can get very messy.
- cut the pomegranate in half (not trough the crown, so not like an
apple)
- brake the two halfs again in smaller peaces with your hands
(careful it might splash very red juice)
- carefully take out the grains with your fingers
There you have it!! It is kind of difficult but after you do it once or twice you'll get the hang of it
1. Make the dressing by just combining all the ingredients
2. Take the chickpeas out of the can and rinse them with water and put them
into a salad bowl
3. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them into the bowl
4. Cut the cheese into little cubes and the onion into rings
5. Wash the parsley and cut it into the size you want
6. Mix everything
That's it!!
I hope you enjoy this salad!!
Tell me what you think of it and how you would change it!
