Ingredients

  • 10g parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tbsp honey
  • 2 courgettes
  • 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ½ x 198g can sweetcorn, drained
  • 80g feta (check it’s vegetarian, if needed)
  • 2 tsp mixed seeds
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped

Method

  1. Put most of the parsley, the lemon zest and juice, olive oil and honey in a bowl and whisk together along with some seasoning to taste.

  2. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the courgettes into ribbons, discarding the seedy centre. Tip into a large bowl with the chickpeas and sweetcorn. Pour over the dressing, toss together and leave to marinate for 5 mins. Crumble in the feta and give it a final light toss. Season with a grinding of black pepper.

  3. Divide the salad between four plates. Scatter over the remaining parsley and sprinkle over along with the mixed seeds and spring onions.
