Today’s Healthy Snack Recipe: Spiced Chickpea Salad with Grilled Peaches

As we transition into the cooler months, I find myself craving hearty yet healthy snacks to keep me satisfied throughout the day. That’s why I’m excited to share with you my latest creation: a spiced chickpea salad with grilled peaches. This unique combination of flavors and textures makes for a delicious and nutritious snack that will surely become a favorite in your household.

To make this flavorful snack, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 can of chickpeas (400g), drained and rinsed
• 2 peaches, sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup of fresh coriander, chopped
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Before you begin, gather the following kitchen tools:

• grill pan
• mixing bowl
• knife
• spatula

Start by heating a grill pan over medium heat. Grill the peach slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, red onion, coriander, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

Gently fold in the grilled peach slices, being careful not to break them apart. The combination of the warm grilled peaches with the spiced chickpea salad creates a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Once everything is well combined, transfer the salad to a serving dish. Garnish with extra coriander leaves for a pop of freshness. This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile snack option for any time of day.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 700g, with 4 servings. Each serving is around 175g, with an estimated calorie count of 200 per serving.

A unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the chickpeas in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before adding the grilled peaches. This allows the flavors to fully develop and infuse into the chickpeas, creating a more robust taste experience.

I encourage you to give this spiced chickpea salad with grilled peaches a try and feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs or spices. It’s a simple yet impressive snack that is sure to satisfy your cravings in a healthy way. Enjoy!
