Roast Courgette, Green bean, Chickpea & Broad Bean Salad
A gorgeous combination of roast courgette, green beans, chickpeas, broad beans, mint and lemon. Fresh and substantial at the same time.

Even though itโs now September, Iโm sneaking in another salad. This is a more developed and substantial version of the roast courgette salad I recently posted on InstagramโI absolutely adore the combination of roast courgette, mint and lemon. So fresh and delicious, beautiful Summer flavours.
Here Iโve added broad beans and chickpeas to make if it more balanced and nutritious. But this would also work really well with peas, which you could use instead of either the beans or chickpeas.
My coconut mint dressing is just so dreamyโitโs fantastic on salads, as well as curry topping, in sandwiches.. Itโs so good I think itโs currently challenging my tahini dressing as my favourite!
As my salad contains pulses and lots of roast veg, it really is a mealโbut I made the dressing extra juicyโperfect so that chucks to sourdough can be dipped in. Yum!
I hope you enjoy, much love. Niki xxx
