Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • For serving: Mixed greens, cooked quinoa, toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, lime juice, ginger, salt, and pepper until smooth. This is your dressing base.
  2. Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas to the bowl. Gently toss to coat them completely with the curry mixture.
  3. Stir in the red onion, cilantro, and shredded carrots. Mix well so all ingredients combine evenly.
  4. Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the chickpeas to absorb the curry flavor.
  5. To serve, create your bowl: Start with a base of mixed greens and quinoa. Spoon a generous amount of the coconut curry chickpea salad over the top.
  6. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor. Enjoy your creation!

Notes

  • Chef Tariq insists on using full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy texture.
  • You can make the chickpea mixture ahead of time; the flavor deepens overnight.
  • If you like more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • Amara suggests adding thinly sliced bell peppers for extra crunch.
