Kumara Chickpea Salad

Wow, how lucky we are to have had such nice weather over Xmas and New Years in Wellington this year.... weather for salads such as this yummy kumara and chickpea one, which we ate in our sunny courtyard for lunch today. Happy New Year ;-)

Ingredients:
- 1 medium orange-fleshed kumara
- 1 420g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/8 red onion, or half a spring onion, sliced
- 100g salad greens such as baby spinach, or cos lettuce
- handful pumpkin seeds
- large handful chopped coriander leaves (I didn't have coriander today, so used mint, but it didn't taste as good).

Dressing:
For the dressing, I used Jamie's coleslaw dressing:
- 1/2 lemon
- swig extra virgin olive oil
- 1 T dijon mustard
- 125ml natural unsweetened yogurt
- freshly ground black pepper


Method:
Preheat oven to 180deg. Chop kumara into 1cm cubes. Drizzle over some olive oil. Bake for around 20 minutes or until well cooked. Allow to cool.
Transfer to a large serving bowl, and add greens, pumpkin seeds, and chickpeas. Drizzle dressing over and serve immediately.
