Method

  1. Mix all the ingredients together, mashing a little so the chickpeas are a bit rough round the edges – this helps absorb the dressing. (Can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge.) Try it with slow-cooked Greek lamb and tzatziki sauce.

Delicious salad! I doubled the quantities and added a tin of butter beans too. Definitely serve with flatbread or similar to mop up the juices - I didn't and wished I had! Will definitely make again.
