The ingredients you’ll need for this beetroot chickpea salad

You’ll only need couple of the ingredients which you can easily find in your pantry or any grocery store.

-Beetroot. I love beets fot its colour and nutrients, it also tastes so great and it’s one of my favourite vegetables to add to salad. For this salad I roasted beetroot in the oven with olive oil, salt and cumin. I wrapped everything in foil and baked in the oven for about 1 hour. It became so delicious and caramelised. I always make a big batch of these beetroots, they store very well in the fridge for about 5-6 days and it’s perfect with any salad or meals.

-Chickpeas. I like to always have a can of chickpeas in my pantry and use whenever I need to eat a quick meal. It’s perfect as all you need to do is drain them and use. You can definitely cook chickpeas by yoursef, it’s just more time consuming. If I cook by myself I usually cook a huge amount and freze the chickpeas into portions.

-Sunflower seeds. I love to use some king of seeds or nuts in my salads. It gives a lovely crunch to the salads and extra healthy fats.

-Parsley. I love to use some kind of herbs in my salads. My first option is always parsley. I grow it in my garden and I have endless supply of it all year around. You can also use dill, basil or even fresh oregano here. Anything you like.

-Dressing. It’s made out of sumac, balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. I love sumac as it’s super fresh and interestinf flavour which is perfect for salads.

-Vegan feta cheese. You don’t have to use it in this salad, but I personally think feta and beetroot is one of the best combinations.
