ADD THIS TO YOUR LUNCH ROTATION!
Looking for a delicious no-fuss vegetarian recipe for lunch?
Here is my simple yet oh-so-delicious chickpea curry salad recipe. I like to make a big batch of this so I can have a fuss-free lunch more than once during the week.
This salad is super versatile and I like it served up a number of different ways.
- Wrapped up in one of my Paleo Parathas
- Dished on top of 1/2 a baked sweet potato
- Added to a plate of mixed greens or stirred through with kale which holds up really well if you need a lunch to take with you to the office!
No matter how you decide to serve this up, I am sure you are gonna love the flavors in this dish.
Want a vegetarian version? No problem! (You know I got you, my veggie friends!) Sub the chicken for chickpeas for an equally delicious and plant-based salad!
You've got the warm spices of the curry powder, the crunch of the walnuts, a bit of tang from the mustard, creaminess from the mayo, and sweetness from the raisins.
Not sure how else to use your curry powder? Try my Curried Cauliflower Soup.
