Tuna, Chickpea & Goats Cheese Mix/salad
OK so I’m kind of being cheeky here – this is slightly more of a salad than a mix, but I ADORE this salad and didn’t want to finish the week without sharing it with you.If you’re serving it as a mix, just chop everything a little finer.Best thing about this mix – you can add or take out anything you want to!!! If you don’t like kale or you don’t have celery, just skip it.Serve this with:Sourdough toastRice thinsBaked sweet potatoBaked tortillas (add some Greek yoghurt too)In a wrapOn its own as a salad

Notes
I always throw on a whole packet of nuts to toast and then store them in a container/jar in the pantry. It makes is so easy for topping salads, stir fry’s etc.
Make a larger salad dressing and store in a jar with a lid. Keep it stored in the fridge, it will last for us to 4 weeks!!!!
