Has anyone got a nice chickpea salad type recipe, that can be eaten hot or cold, ingredient such as chickpeas (obviously), kumara, maybe parsnip or other root veges, maybe carrots! with some sort of curry (or other yellow saucy stuff) some small greens such as spinach or parsley, had a yummy lunch at a cafe a chickpea salad and I just cannot find any similar recipes on google, just wondered if anyone had any and know if they taste good and are cheap/easy to make, just wanting some meat alternatives for dinners, or just a hot lunch on a cold winters day, it doesnt have to be exactly the same.bread and sanwiches are making me feel yuck and refluxy and am trying to think of alternative lunches that are healthy and full of nutrients. TIA.

This tastes great, has a nice little curry kick to it.
Kumara & Chickpea salad
• 1.25kg kumara (peeled and cut into 2cm chunks) • 2 Tablespoon light oil (Rice Bran) • 200g unsalted cashews • 1 cup finely chopped fresh coriander leaves • 400g tin chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
Dressing
• ¾ teaspoon red curry paste • 90ml coconut milk • 2 tablespoon lime juice • 1 ½ tablespoon soft brown sugar • 2 tablespoons light oil (Rice Bran) • 4 cloves garlic (chopped) • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
Preheat oven to 200deg. Place kumara and oil in a bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss together until well coated. Place on a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
To make dressing, combine the curry paste, coconut milk, lime juice and sugar in food processor.
Heat the oil in a small pan. Add garlic and ginger, cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes, or until light brown, add to rest of dressing.
Place the kumara, chickpeas, cashews, coriander and dressing in large serving bowl and toss gently until combined.
