Roasted Vegetable and Chickpea Salad with Lemon Dressing
Savor a vibrant medley of tender roasted vegetables and hearty chickpeas, lightly tossed with a tangy lemon dressing and accented with a sprinkle of toasted oats and a dollop of creamy cottahe cheese. This refreshing salad balances textures and flavors for a satisfying, nutrient-packed lunch.
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup roasted chickpeas
3/4 cup mixed roasted vegetables (carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper)
1.5 oz cottahe cheese
1 tbsp toasted oats
Lemon dressing (lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat dry and toss them lightly with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until slightly crispy.
Chop carrots, zucchini, and red bell pepper into even pieces. Toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them on a separate baking sheet for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the chickpeas and vegetables roast, prepare the lemon dressing by whisking together fresh lemon juice, a small drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
Once roasted, combine the chickpeas and vegetables in a bowl. Gently fold in the cottahe cheese to add creaminess.
Lightly toast the oats in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then sprinkle over the salad for a subtle crunch.
Drizzle the lemon dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
