Roasted Cauliflower, Chickpea & Feta Salad

Cauliflower and chickpeas taste amazing when roasted. Combined with the feta, this salad is a filling meal, and you won’t need any bread with it. Add generous handfuls of whatever leaves you have in the fridge – rocket and mint taste particularly good.

Add the pomegranate seeds and rocket leaves. Tear the mint leaves over the top. Add the feta cheese and lime juice, and mix everything together gently.
