Ingredients

Chickpea and silverbeet salad
  • 8 spring onions
  • 600 gram canned chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 1 kilogram silverbeet, shredded finely
  • 1 red capsicum, sliced thinly
Paprika dressing
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) mustard seed oil
  • 2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar

Method

Chickpea and silverbeet salad
  • 1
    Make paprika dressing. Combine ingredients in a jar with a screw lid and shake well to combine.
  • 2
    Trim green tops from spring onion bulbs. Cut bulbs into wedges; thinly slice three of the green tops, discard remaining tops.
  • 3
    Combine onions with remaining ingredients and three-quarters of the dressing in large bowl; season to taste.

Notes

Mustard seed oil can be found in most large supermarkets or health-food stores. A 1kg (2-pound) bunch of silverbeet should give you about 250g (8 ounces) of leaves after trimming.
