Gluten free recipe: Chickpea salad with edible flowers
Hey!
We hope you all are fine.
We are happy to share the recipe of a 10-minute healthy salad with chickpeas that we have been cooking these last weeks several times as it is already quite hot here. We really like it, specially because of the flowers flavour mixed with onions and chickpeas. We hope you’ll enjoy as much as we do.
Regarding the flowers petals, please, note that, of course, we suggest to consume edible flowers, organic and non-sprayed ones as it is very important not to ingest pesticides. We plant several type of edible flowers in the garden and then we dry them for a while. For this recipe, we have used a mix of lavender and marigold petals. You could also look for already mixed petals from your bio market.
Take care of you.
