sea salt

How to Make Chickpea & Mint Salad
Recipe Instructions:
Finely chop your red onion and chillies.
Roughly chop your tomatoes, mixing them in with the onion and chillies.
Scrape all of this, and the juice, into a bowl and dress with the juice of half a lemon and 3 tablespoons of good extra virgin olive oil. Season to taste.
Heat the chickpeas in a pan, then add 90 per cent of them to the bowl. Mush up the remaining chickpeas and add these as well – they will give a nice creamy consistency. Allow to marinate for a little while and serve at room temperature.
Just as you're ready to serve, give the salad a final dress with the fresh mint and basil.
Taste one last time for seasoning. You may want to add the juice from your remaining lemon half at this point.
To Serve
Place on a nice serving dish and crumble over the feta cheese.
