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.

Feeds: 4

Takes: 30 minutes

Ingredients

150g ciabatta bread (or thick slices of bread of choice)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large cos or romaine lettuce, leaves separated
1 jar Queen Chickpeas, drained

For the dressing - You could make this from scratch, or follow a cheats version:

2 anchovies in oil, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, grated
4 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
20g parmesan, plus extra to serve
The juice of 1 lemon

Made with:
Queen Chickpeas

This is the ultimate chickpea. It's tender, giant and oh so delicious. These guys are so delicious in their own right, they can stand centre stage of any dish with little else needed doing to them.

Directions

step 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.
step 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.
step 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.

Mighty Queen Chickpeas

This is the ULTIMATE chickpea. It's tender, GIANT and oh so delicious. These guys are so delicious in their own right, they can stand centre stage of any dish with little else needed doing to them. Try them in this spiced tomato + harissa stew or as a hearty filling in this coronation chickpea sandwich. Or crisp them up in the oven for crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-centre marvels to top onto soup, salads or stews.
Additive and preservative-free. Just the highest quality beans, water and a pinch of salt.
