Prep time: 15-20 minutes
Cook time: 25-30 minutes
Salad Materials:
- ¼ head of cabbage thinly sliced
- ½ green pepper thinly sliced
- ½ small cucumber thinly sliced
- ½ apple chopped (I used Empire but any will do)
- ½ cup red grapes halved
Chickpea Materials:
- 15 oz. can chickpeas drained and dried
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp cumin
- ⅓ tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dressing Materials:
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Process:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper.
- Rinse your chickpeas and remove any of the loose top layer off the chickpeas.
- Place them on a clean paper towel and dry them off completely.
- Add your dried chickpeas into a small mixing bowl. Add in the vegetable oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Mix well to coat everything evenly.
- Pour the chickpeas onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes giving the chickpeas a rough toss mid way.
- Set aside to cool.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the cabbage, pepper, cucumber, apple and grapes. Mix well and set aside while you make the dressing.
- In a small mixing bowl or cup add in the lemon juice, honey and extra virgin olive oil. Give the mixture a good mix to make sure that everything is incorporated.
- Top the salad with some roasted chickpeas and drizzle as much dressing over the top as you’d like.
- Sit and ENJOY!
