Finishing January with a serious health kick.

This salad is not only healthy but super delicious and full of flavour.

Roasted in garlic and herbs, the chickpeas and sweet potato pack in a serious punch on this salad. Served on top of spinach leaves and crunch iceberg lettuce. Adding colour to the salad, I popped in fresh cherry tomatoes and crunchy cucumber.

The cranberries add a chewy texture to the salad and a lovely sweetness. For the dressing I mixed together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper and a little tahini. It’s a light and fresh dressing which allows the flavour of the roasted items to come to life.

Finally the feta on top gives the salad that fancy finish.
