Carrot, coriander, chickpea and cumin salad.
New Year, always a time of resolutions, some easier to keep than others. Mine is to eat more colours in my food, and lavish a little more love and time on our meals. Last years resolution was lose a shed load of weight, which I achieved, so this years seems easy by comparison.
This is a dead easy salad, and can be made up in a matter of minutes. Unless you burn the cumin and sodding nuts three times in a row of course.
2 peeled and grated carrots
1 can chickpeas, drained.
Handful chopped coriander
Tblsp toasted cumin
Small handful toasted chopped nuts. Ideally ones that begin with a c, (Cashews!) but I used pistachios.
Toast the cumin, and nuts in a small frying pan on the hob. I find this is the method least likely to end up in a blackened crumble smoking out the kitchen. Toss together all the ingredients with a couple of tablespoons of your favorite dressing. This can be served warm (30 secs in a microwave) or cold.
