Salad offers good nutrition, with vegetables and chickpeas providing fibre and a range of minerals and vitamins
I’ll sometimes build a meal around a side salad — one that’s so flavourful and colourful that, when it’s served with a simply cooked protein and a few other easy additions, it creates a very appealing meal.
I served the salad with thick lamb chops. I brushed the chops lightly with olive oil, seasoned them with rosemary, flaked sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and grilled them on my barbecue over medium-high heat, about three to four minutes per side.
