Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 broccoli florets head
  • 1 stem roughly chopped
  • 1 green zucchinis large, cut into slices on the diagonal
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 400 g canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup parsley finely chopped
  • 1.5 cups mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup pepitas toasted
  • 1/3 cup sunflowers seeds toasted
  • 1/3 cup almonds toasted & chopped
  • 80 g feta cheese or goats cheese, crumbled
  • 1 red chilli long, finely sliced
  • lemon to serve, fresh

Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 lemon juice squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

Method:

  • Place the broccoli and zucchini in a bowl, drizzle over the extra virgin olive oil and season. Mix it all together. Place a large fry pan onto high heat for 30 seconds and then add the broccoli and zucchini pieces. Try not to move them around, so you get a nice browning on the vegetables. Remove and let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place your seeds and almonds onto two roasting trays and roast for 10-15 mins. Remove and let cool. Roughly chop the almonds. Set aside.
  • For the dressing: Mix all ingredients together and adjust to taste. You want it to be quite lemony!
  • For the salad: In a large bowl, add the charred broccoli & zucchini, chickpeas, parsley, mint, seeds, almonds and feta or goats cheese. Toss the salad together. Drizzle over the dressing and combine. Top with fresh chilli slices and squeeze over some fresh lemon juice.
