Chickpea salad with roasted pumpkin, sun-dried tomato and feta
Here's a salad to convert people who say they don't like chickpeas – it's fast, easy, tasty, and can be doubled or tripled to serve a crowd. It's also a good portable lunch, but remember it tastes best slightly warm or at room temperature rather than fridge-cold.
Serves: 2 to 4
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 500g diced pumpkin
- 2 cloves garlic
- 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 10 sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ cup diced feta
- ½ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Method:
- To begin, heat your oven to 200°C.
- Put the pumpkin, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl and mix well, then tip on to a baking tray.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then add the chickpeas and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another five minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- While you're waiting, squeeze the garlic cloves into a serving bowl.
- Add the vinegar and a pinch of salt and whisk together.
- Add the chickpea and pumpkin mixture and stir gently.
- Fold through the feta and parsley and serve.
