Turmeric Cauliflower & Chickpea Salad

Such a simple dish yet incredibly healthy (full of fibre and anti-inflammatory goodness) and filling! I like to keep a little aside undressed for lunches throughout the week.

• 1 cup cooked chickpeas
• ½ head of cauliflower
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1 tsp turmeric OR my d.e.w turmeric & ginger blend
• ½ cup chopped parsley
• ¼ cup chopped mint
• ½ cup pomegranate (optional)
• 1 chicken breast (optional)
• Black pepper to taste

Dressing

• 1/4 cup Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tbl sp. organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Preheat your oven to 180° (160° fan forced).  Chop the cauliflower into small pieces and mix together with the olive oil and Turmeric & Ginger blend. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, being mindful not to burn. This dish is wonderful on its own but if you would like to add the chicken, simply grill or lightly pan-fry the chicken breast with a little olive oil until cooked.

Mix all remaining ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the baked cauliflower and top with the dressing and grilled chicken (if desired).  Pepper to taste.

Yum!
