Lamb and Chickpea Salad

Finally putting my chickpeas to some savoury dishes. Although I love all of my healthy chickpea blondie recipes…especially those banana bread ones.. I also love savoury!

I love simple. I love 5 minute meals. I love throwing things together into a bowl..and they just WORK! And lamb. Oh how I love lamb. Besides chicken and beef…oh and salmon…I really really love lamb! Haha yeah, you got me! I’m a self-confessed lover of all meats.

This is one of my favourite go-to salads. Anything with lamb and avocado is a hit in my house. Throw in some chickpeas and some beautifully ripened tomatoes, and everyone’s happy!

This simple salad idea is so quick and easy to make.

Perfect for when you have absolutely no idea what to cook, and everyone’s staring at you, eyes blaring, stomach’s growling, and they look to you for hunger salvation.

I used to stress and calculate how many minutes it would take to boil pasta or rice, roast something, simmer something else…and then pull my hair out and end up with grilled cheese, which in my personal and humbled opinion, is another great way to get out of the hunger games.

But sometimes…you just want salad. Crunchy and fresh salads. And building them up with lean proteins and healthy fats makes for an incredible meal!
