Getting figgy with it

In the second instalment of my current fig obsession, this chickpea, feta and fig salad is everything you need when it's crisp and sunny - it's fresh, it's healthy, it's full of protein and it's been kissed with a little bit of winter. 


It's perfect for a light lunch that's really quick and easy to throw together but it will also work as a fuss free, attractive starter.


It's pretty self explanatory so I won't patronise you by going into a full ingredients list: I dressed salad leaves with balsamic vinegar and fresh lime juice (you can use olive oil too), I topped with chick peas, kalamata olives, figs and crumbled feta. I then squeezed a bit more lime over it. Be creative, you can add red onion or baby plum tomatoes. You could also serve some nice artisan bread on the side if you're needing the carb hit. 


This is another Slimming World friendly recipe too (on extra easy and green) but just don't use oil and weigh your feta (42g) as one of your healthy extras.
