Superfresh Chickpea Confetti Salad and Epic blogging fail

First of all - the epic fail. It's been a month without blogging anything. That being said I was gone for 3 out of the 4 weekends in April. Still no excuse. Hope this makes up for it!

Superfresh Chickpea Confetti Salad

Ingredients

·         1 can of chickpeas

·         ½ a red onion

·         3-4 spring onions

·         1 sweet pepper of your preferred colour

·         ½ carton of cherry tomatoes

·         1 cup mini carrots

·         1 block light feta cheese

·         Handful of Italian parsley

·         2 limes, zest and juice

·         Splash of pesto oil*

* I love Classico pesto but I hate all the oil in it so I drain off as much of the oil as I can into a jar and repurpose it in vinaigrettes and for whatever else I need flavoured oil.

Directions

1. Drain and rinse one can of chickpeas, add to bowl;
2. Dice red onion, peppers and carrots, add to bowl;
3. Slice green onions thinly on diagonal, add to bowl;
4. Halve cherry tomatoes; add to bowl (there is a pattern here, no?);
5. finely chop a handful of Italian parsley, add to bowl;
6. Cube up feta, add to the bowl
7. Zest 2 limes into bowl, add their juice (I’m a sucker for citrus so I always keep a bottle of RealLime and RealLemon in the fridge and add a bit more for extra zippyness!)
8. Add a splash of pesto oil to bowl (see * above);
9. Salt and pepper to taste;
10. Mix well and…

Eat!

Enjoy!!
