Healthy Chickpeas Salad, Mia Kay © 2015 |
Nourish yourself with this healthy and super easy to make (no cooking required) salad! I've used ingredients which can be easily found in any Hong Kong supermarket so that you have no excuses as to not being able to make it! What's even greater about this recipe is thatit doesn't require much utensils or washing up after! Hurrah! :)
This high-protein mixed veg salad is a great way to get those veggies in your diet and to fuel for the day when you are short of time (a factor us Hong Kongers seem to always be limited to!) You can always use this healthy salad recipe as a basis and use whatever veggies you have in the fridge or veggies you fancy.
Ingredients you will need (serves 2)
- a can of chickpeas (around 300g)
- a can of tuna (75g)
- veggies you would like to use. I used:
-3 stalks of celery
- 3 beetroots
- a handful of baby carrots
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves
For the dressing:
- sweet chilli sauce
- juice of one lemon
- fish sauce (not essential but adds flavour to it)
- white pepper (not essential)
- Wash and cut up all your veggies into bite friendly sizes

4. Now to make the dressing- squeeze the juice out of one lemon
and add 2 tablespoon of Thai sweet chilli sauce. Give it a stir and a taste to
see if it suits your liking. You can always add more sweet chill sauce. If you
do have fish sauce add a few drops and it will help intensify the flavour of
the dressing.

5. Combine the dressing into the big mixing bowl and use your
both hands to mix the sauce with the salad so that the dressing is evenly
coated.
6. And there you go! A quick and easy AND healthy recipe with a
good combination of fibre, protein and carbs. Half the serving and save
the other half for the next day or share it with someone :)
