Happy Meat Free Monday - here’s an easy and delicious meal idea: Chickpea & Herb Salad: Ingredients 1 tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed A handful of rocket Cucumber, diced or sliced Cherry tomatoes, halved Fresh parsley and mint (or basil if you have it) Toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds (optional) Dressing 3 tbsp olive oil @Citizens of Soil Olive Oils Juice of 1 lemon 1 tsp Dijon mustard ½ tsp maple syrup or agave Salt and plenty of black pepper Toss everything together just before serving. Parsley Potatoes: Baby new potatoes Parsley Olive oil Salt & Pepper Allow the potatoes to cool* and crush everything together. * allowing the potatoes to cool can be beneficial because some of their starch changes into resistant starch. Since I’m aiming to lose weight while increasing my protein intake, cold potatoes can be a good addition to meals. Pairing them with a protein source such as tofu, tempeh, lentils, or beans, along with plenty of vegetables, can help create a filling, balanced meal. Bowls @H&M HOME
