This is a simple, quick and really tasty side to prepare. Let it rest for at least a half hour before serving however it actually improves with age. It can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for a number of days. Make sure to mix dressing through before serving. You can have it as an extra side or toss through a green salad and for extra flavour add a little of the dressing.

Ingredients

  • 2 – 400g / 14oz tins chickpeas – rinsed, drained
  • 6 garlic cloves – peeled, rinsed
  • 1 cup of fresh lemon juice
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil

  2. In a blender or food processor blend garlic, lemon juice and oil to make a fine dressing. 
  3. In a bowl add chickpeas and mix dressing through.
  4. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.  Serve.
