Ingredients
- 165g cooked or canned chickpeas (drained & rinsed)
- 75g green peas (fresh or thawed frozen)
- Handful of pea shoots
- 80g pomegranate seeds
- 100g cucumber, diced
- 40g red onion, chopped
- Fresh herbs (mint and parsley)
- 1 tsp hibiscus powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tsp honey
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients until smooth (it will turn a vibrant pink).
- Spoon the hibiscus dressing onto a plate or shallow bowl and spread it out evenly to form a base layer.
- In a separate bowl, lightly combine chickpeas, peas, cucumber, onion, and pomegranate.
- Pile the salad mixture on top of the dressing, keeping it centred so the pink layer is visible around the edges.
- Scatter fresh herbs over the top.
- Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve immediately.
