Ingredients

Servings:4
  • Canned Chickpeas(800 g)
  • Cherry Tomatoes(400 g)
  • Mozzarella(250 g)
  • Arugula(120 g)
  • Fresh basil(20 g)
  • Olive oil(3 tbsp)
  • Paprika(1 tsp)
  • Garlic powder(1 tsp)
  • Salt(1 tsp)
  • Black pepper(½ tsp)
  • Balsamic Glaze(2 tbsp)
  • Honey(1 tbsp)
  • Dijon Mustard(1 tsp)

Method

  1. 1

    Drain and dry {Canned Chickpeas} well. Halve the {Cherry Tomatoes}, tear the {Mozzarella} into bite-size pieces, and tear most of the {Fresh basil}, saving a few leaves for serving.

    ~10 min

  2. 2

    Heat {Olive oil} in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the {Canned Chickpeas}, {Paprika}, {Garlic powder}, {Salt}, and {Black pepper}. Cook, stirring often, until the chickpeas are golden and crisp on the outside, 12 to 15 minutes.

    ~15 min

  3. 3

    Whisk together the {Balsamic vinegar}, {Honey}, and {Dijon Mustard} in a large bowl until glossy.

  4. 4

    Add the {Arugula}, {Cherry Tomatoes}, torn {Mozzarella}, and torn {Fresh basil} to the bowl. Tip in the warm crispy {Canned Chickpeas} and toss everything together so the dressing lightly coats the leaves, tomatoes, cheese, and chickpeas.

  5. 5

    Serve straight away with the reserved basil scattered over the top.
