This salad is as easy as it is quick and healthy! You can alter the ingredients to suit your taste. Love hommus? Then add a bit more. Love lots of parsley? Add as much as you like. Hate cucumber? Leave it out!

Ingredients

1 tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tin lentils, drained and rinsed

1 punnet cherry tomatoes, chopped (you can also use regular tomatoes, chopped)

1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped

½ bunch parsley, finely chopped

½ bunch mint, finely chopped

½ red onion, chopped

¼ cup hommus

Juice of half a lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Drain and rinse the chickpeas and lentils and place in a large mixing bowl. Add all other chopped ingre­dients and mix together. Add the hommus and lemon juice then mix again. Add salt and pepper to taste.

You might need to add a little more hommus and juice to taste. Trans­fer to a salad bowl and enjoy! This goes well with a barbecue, crumbed chicken or as a meal by itself. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
