Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

2

Place the chickpeas and bread pieces onto a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, cumin and salt. Toss to coat. Place into the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, until the bread is crispy. Remove and allow to cool slightly.

3

Place the capers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, nutritional yeast into a bowl and whisk to combine. Add water as needed until you have a smooth, pourable consistency. Add salt to taste.

4

Place the salad leaves into a bowl. Drizzle over the dressing, top with the chickpeas and croutons and serve.
