Chickpea Salad with Nigella Roasted Sweet Potato and Grated Carrots
This versatile salad featuring chickpeas in a bright, fragrant dressing, holds well in the fridge. Make it in advance or keep it for leftovers. Nigella seeds, also known as kalonji, lend a sweet, nutty flavour with an ever-so-slightly bitter edge that pairs perfectly with sweet potato’s sweetness. Chickpeas please!

They’re also a very good source of manganese, which is important for calcium absorption and blood sugar regulation.
