Carrot, Chickpea and Orange Salad Recipe

Liven up your summer salad repertoire with this refreshing carrot, chickpea and orange salad. The orange and carrot add vibrant colour with a fruity twist.

Place the oranges on a chopping board and use a small, sharp knife to remove the skin and pith. Then slice between the membrane of the oranges to release the segments.

Squeeze the remaining juice from the orange membrane into a bowl, together with any juice from the chopping board. Add the houmous to the bowl and whisk together to make a dressing with a drizzling consistency. Season to taste.

Place the orange segments in a serving bowl. Add the carrots, peanuts, chick peas and rocket leaves and toss. Drizzle over the dressing and serve immediately.
