Ingredients
Salad ingredients:
- 1 kg new potatoes (2.2lbs)
- 2 large courgettes
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 x 400 g chickpeas drained (2 x 14oz)
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Green sauce ingredients:
- 4 tbsp toasted pine nuts
- Large bunch of basil
- Large handful of spinach
- Juice of a lemon
- 1 clove of garlic
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- Lots of salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil. If your potatoes are small there is no need to chop but chop them in half, if larger. Add the potatoes to the pan and cook until just soft. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
- Heat a griddle pan with a little olive oil. Chop the courgettes into slices. Griddle them for a few mins on each side then remove from the pan. Drain the chickpeas and mix with the oregano and some salt and pepper. Add them to the pan (no need to wash) and cook for a couple of minutes until warm.
- To make the green sauce, blend all the ingredients together until smooth, adding the water to get a nice consistency. If you want it runnier, add more water.
- To serve, add the potatoes and courgettes to a serving bowl. Add in the chickpeas and pumpkin seeds. Pour over the sauce and mix to combine. Serve with a few extra basil leaves.
Notes
- Other herbs will work instead of basil. Coriander is a good option.
- The sauce will keep well in a jar with a lid for up to a week if you don’t use it all at once.
- This salad will keep in the fridge for a 3-4 days. Not suitable for freezing.
