I am obsessed with this salad that I made yesterday from the contents of my fridge, & inspired by something similar that Miss P made me on my trip to London. I think it’s the perfect summer lunch: the parsley makes it smell as good as it tastes, & the Tabasco adds a hefty kick to the metabolism. It’s also good with some goat’s cheese crumbled through it.
Put the following ingredients in a bowl and mix with your hands — it feels so much more satisfying.
Half a can of organic unsalted chickpeas.
(Soak dried ones 24hrs ahead by all means but I’m a fan of the here & now)
large handful cherry tomatoes, halved, make sure the juices don’t escape
handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped
half a red onion minced
Juice of one lime
glug of olive oil — I like Greek, for its peppery green-ness
very good shake of Tabasco
Maldon salt & fresh ground black pepper
Eat (it all) with pitta.
