Step 2

Roasting the chickpeas is optional although I think it really helps to elevate a tinned chickpea from boring and bland to delicious. Preheat the oven to 200C. Spread the chickpeas on a baking tray, toss with two teaspoons coconut oil and roast for 10-15 minutes until a bit crisp and dried. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before proceeding. Alternately, just rinse and dry the chickpeas and add to the salad if you're in a hurry.

Step 4

To make the dressing, heat a pan to medium heat, add one heaped tablespoon coconut oil and the garlic, ginger and chilli and sizzle for 30 seconds. Add the turmeric and mix, then add the coconut milk and allow this to bubble up and simmer for two minutes. Add the sugar and fish sauce and mix to combine. Pour this mixture into a jar or small bowl and allow to cool. Once cooled, add the lime juice and check for seasoning. It should be salty, creamy and balanced, but not sweet.

Step 6

Combine the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, herbs and the dressing in a large mixing bowl. Taste and check for seasoning. If you want a little more salt, add a pinch at a time until you get what you want. If you want more sourness, add a little more lime juice. Serve at room temperature.

Step 7

Serve with my sweet and sour grilled prawns for a refreshing summer meal.
