Buttery Lentils and Chickpea Salad with Avocado

June 15, 2015 by Cris 25 Comments

Buttery Lentils, crunchy chickpeas, avocado and … almond flakes – such a bold vegan meal that requires maximum 5 minutes to get it ready.

Buttery Lentils and Chickpea Salad with AvocadoI know I always say this, but this salad is definitely my NEW favorite. It tastes absolutely divine, similar to my Brussels Sprouts, White Beans and Almond Flakes.The avocado lends a lovely, buttery favor and the parsley makes the salad taste alive.

I am not kidding, I’ve made this salad a few times now, with both freshly cooked chickpeas and the canned ones. It’s great both ways, but I prefer using the fresh ones. Now what I like to do, in order to significantly reduce my time in the kitchen, is every week I cook lentils, chickpeas, beans and quinoa in bulk and keep them for a few days in the refrigerator. That way, I make sure we eat healthy all week….

3 Ingredient Salad

February 25, 2015 by Cris 5 Comments

Say HELLO to this vegan chickpea salad with broccoli and brussels sprouts and see how they come together beautifully to make an unforgettable experience.

3 Ingredient Salad
Beautiful people, meet this great 3-Ingredient Salad (I obviously meant the 3 key ingredients). This green beauty is a refreshing vegan dish that packs a punch with a zesty dressing made out of lemon and red chili flakes balanced by the smooth taste of olive oil.

With only broccoli, brussels sprouts and chickpeas this is a healthy dish, high in protein, that will keep you energized for hours. Oh yeah! And it takes less than 10 minutes of your precious time go get it done….

Chickpeas, Spinach & Feta Cheese Snack

November 3, 2014 by Cris 2 Comments

A delicious and quick to make kind of snack topped with chickpeas, spinach, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, chillies, a drizzle of olive oil and oregano. Heaven!

Chickpeas, Spinach & Feta Cheese Snack
I realized the other day that I haven’t posted a snack recipe here in a while. And it’s not because I don’t eat healthy snacks that often (which would be a big lie), but it’s mostly because I personally believe that it’s not enough for a quick and easy snack to make such a representation on the blog….
