Mexican Chickpea Salad

Name: Mexican Chickpea Salad
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 pouch Mixed grains; 2 tin Chickpeas; 1 tin Sweetcorn; 250 g Cherry tomatoes; 1 Red pepper; 1 Little gem lettuce; 1/2 Red onion; 1 handful Fresh coriander; 100 g Greek yoghurt; 4 tbsp Light mayonnaise; 1 tbsp Tomato purée; 1 tsp Smoked paprika; 1 tsp Ground cumin; 1 tsp Garlic granules; 1/2 tsp Onion granules; 1/2 tsp Chilli powder; 1/2 tsp Dried oregano; 2 tsp Honey

If you have ever seen the pouches of mixed grains at the supermarket and wondered what recipe you could use them in- here is the one- it’s sooo summery, packed with flavour, protein and lots of fibre too! The mixed grain pouches are a great and really convenient way to pack in some extra fibre and plant points to meals!! I just used the Tesco seasoned grains pouches in this one but Aldi also do some lovely Spanish ones which would work great!! Feel free to sub for microwave rice if you prefer!!

Used 200g Cous Cous instead of mixed grains and it turned out great, the flavour of the dressing really pulls through 😍😋

My whole family enjoyed this recipe! I adapted it for my teen (who has ARFID) and myself (food sensitivities) but we all loved the great flavour and texture. I used grilled chicken as our protein instead of the chickpeas and served it over plain rice. We had it again another evening over steamed potatoes. Loved it in every iteration!
