Salads are really amazing and not boring at all. By combining different vegetables (and also fruits) you can create really delicious salads.
The most important part of this recipe is the combination of baked potatoes, roasted chickpeas, and fresh veggies with an easy dressing.
Salads can be fun!
When I say salad, I don't mean fresh lettuce chopped in a bowl. Salads can be made with so many different ingredients, so why limit yourself to one single ingredient?
The base of this roasted potato and chickpea salad is pretty much obvious - greens. I love to start my salad with greens and slowly adding more veggies, depending on the season and what I have in the fridge.
In this recipe, I used greens as a base, continued with fresh veggies such as cucumber, pepper, tomato, and carrot. You can use whatever you have in your house. There are no limitations.
Next, you will need to add some starch or grains. I used baked potatoes because they are so easy to make and so delicious in the salads!
Also, I added chickpeas for some protein, but you can use different types of beans, lentils, tempeh, or even tofu.
Lastly, we cannot forget about dressing. The dressing makes every salad a lot better. By adding dressing into a salad you can create a really moist and juicy salad recipe.
Let's make this amazing fresh potato and chickpea salad!
Start by combining ingredients for fresh salad, which are:
- mixed greens
- tomato
- radishes
- chopped cucumber
Combine those ingredients and set aside.
Next, let's bake the potatoes. Chop the potatoes into small pieces and put them onto a baking sheet along with oil and seasonings. Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, we can prepare our roasted chickpeas, simply add chickpeas into a pan with a little bit of oil and seasonings. Cook until the chickpeas are golden and fragrant.
We cannot forget about the dressing, right?
Start by preparing all of the ingredients and put them into a blender. The main ingredient is avocado. This gives a nice flavor and creaminess.
