Chickpea, pomegranate & pine nut salad

I love salads, and this one is a real break from the usual green leaves, tomato and cucumber... and it's super yummy. Pomegranate seeds are rich in fibre, vitamin C and polyphenols, which can help in the prevention of cancer and heart disease.

Ingredients:

2 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
2 tbsp olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup coriander leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup parsley leaves, coarsely chopped

Method:

Mix the chickpeas, pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and herbs in a bowl.
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice and salt and stir through the salad.
Serve at room temperature.
Enjoy! x
