18 shares
Jump to Recipe

A light and lemony chickpea salad with pops of sweet, tart pomegranate. A peppery rocket, herb base with diced cucumber, tomato olives and a scoop of rich and creamy fresh hummus to the side. Bursting with flavour!

Pomegranate, rocket salad with hummus.

I made this beautiful pomegranate salad recipe for lunch one afternoon with some leftover hummus and sprouted chickpeas. This literally took about 5-6 minutes to put together, and it's really satisfying.🥗😋💕

 

A quick glance at the ingredients.

You may very well have most of the ingredients at home already as I did. I only popped out to get pomegranate seeds to make this into a quick lunch.

  • rocket
  • parsley
  • baby plum tomatoes
  • cucumber
  • chickpeas
  • hummus
  • red onion
  • olives
  • pomegranate seeds
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • lemon

Recipe variations.

Do feel free to double the number of leafy greens here!

This recipe is just a guide. Change up the amount of ingredients to your own preference. One of the things I love about eating is I don't restrict myself and I add what I like.

Pomegranate seeds - try de-stoned and halved fresh cherries instead. They work beautifully in this chickpea salad.

Sprouted chickpeas - I regularly include sprouted chickpeas in my recipes. Feel free to swap them with cooked ones if you prefer.

For a complete guide on sprouting chickpeas, see my post “How to sprout chickpeas the easy way”. You should allow up to 3 days to sprout chickpeas.

Rocket - watercress leaves will be an excellent swap for the rocket with their slight peppery flavour. You can also add chopped cos lettuce and mix the two to bulk up on leafy greens.

Cucumber - this vegan chickpea recipe uses a regular ol' English cucumber. The tiny mini cucumbers that we see now make a delicious, crunchy substitution if you can get hold of them.

 

Features.

This pomegranate rocket and chickpea salad is:

Quick and easy to make.

Tasty and delicious.

Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free.

Filled with fibre.

Nutrient-rich.

 

Are pomegranate seeds healthy?

Yes. Ruby red, juicy pomegranate seeds are also known as arils. They're full of fibre and rich in nutrients, including vitamin C, K, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus, among others (source).

Enjoy adding them to breakfast cereal, chia pudding, fruit salad, desserts, salads, juices and smoothies and more.
