Radish and Chickpea Salad

Print Recipe

A fresh, simple salad combining radishes, chickpeas, green beans, and croutons, providing a filling and nutritious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch fresh radishes with their greens
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 100 g green beans, trimmed
  • 1 roasted red bell pepper from a jar, sliced
  • 3 slices favorite bread
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Slice the bread into small cubes, toss with olive oil and salt, and spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. Wash the radishes and their greens, then thinly slice the radishes and roughly chop the greens.
  4. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 2 to 3 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and plunge into ice water.
  5. In a large bowl, combine radishes, radish greens, chickpeas, green beans, roasted red pepper strips, croutons, and sesame seeds.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together pesto, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently.
  7. Serve in bowls or on a platter, garnished with extra sesame seeds or a drizzle of pesto, if desired.

Notes

Best served cold or at room temperature. Keep the croutons and dressing separate if meal-prepping to maintain crispness.
