Wholesome Pulse Salad & Fresh Mint Dressing

Wholesome Pulse Salad & Fresh Mint Dressing

This is a healthy lunchtime salad, full of protein and rich in nutrients, such as folate. manganese, iron, copper, magnesium and molybdenum. You may like to be creative and add in some extras, I like tomatoes as they go beautifully with Feta, or sliced apple for a bit of sweetness.

  1. If soaking and cooking your pulses is impractical for you, use organic tinned versions instead and rinse through.
  2. For the dressing, pulse together the mint, oil, garlic and seasoning in a food processor. You can also add a tablespoon of live yoghurt if you fancy it.
  3. For the salad, mix together the beans, quinoa and chickpeas in a serving bowl and stir in the mint dressing. Sprinkle the feta liberally over the top.
