SANTORINI SALAD
Well…. we might not be travelling in Europe right now, but let’s eat like we are.
A beautiful, fresh and simple salad. I’ve added chickpeas to bulk it out a bit, so it fills you up for a good amount of time and keeps you satisfied.
Serves 3-4
Ingredients:
1 cup rocket, chopped
400g canned chickpeas, drained
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
