Mexican Chilli Chickpeas & Rice Salad
A delicious Mexican inspired dish which is the ideal quick and easy plant-based meal. The citrus dressing pairs perfectly with the fiery heat of our Firecracker Basmati rice. Tildalicious tip: Chickpeas are less well known as an ingredient in Mexican cooking here in the UK but they are commonly used in Mexico. What’s more, they’re a great source of vegetarian protein!
