Chickpea Caesar Salad

A caesar salad must be one of the Nation's favourite salads. Creamy, crunchy with a very more-ish dressing. We've reimanged a classic by subbing in Queen Chickpeas in replace of chicken - just as a delicious, much more nutritious but without compromising on that creamy indulgence you'd expect from this salad.

Directions

1

Heat the oven to 180C. Tear the bread into chunky croutons and tumble onto a baking tray with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Turning often so that they are evenly crisp.

2

Meanwhile, add all of the dressing ingredients to an empty jar or mixing bowl and shake/mix well to combine. Check for seasoning. It should be the consistency of yogurt - add a splash of water to loosen, if needed.

3

Tip the dressing into a large mixing bowl and add the lettuce leaves, drained chickpeas and half of the croutons. Toss well to coat then tip onto a serving platter and top with the remaining croutons and extra shavings of parmesan.
