Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 1 cup canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 medium garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Prepare a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Place the sweet potato cubes in the basket, cover, and steam for 10-12 minutes or until tender.
Add the broccoli florets to the steamer basket during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Steam until vibrant green and slightly tender.
While the vegetables are steaming, prepare the other salad components. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion. Mince the garlic clove and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed sweet potatoes, broccoli, drained chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and give the salad a final toss.
Serve immediately as a warm salad or refrigerate for 30 minutes to serve chilled. Enjoy!
