If you can, make this Spiced Courgette, Cauliflower and Chickpea Salad a few hours in advance – it gets even tastier as the flavours mingle. This veggie dish can be adapted to use up whatever you have in the fridge – peppers, aubergines or cherry tomatoes would all work here. If you don’t have harissa paste, you could use your favourite curry paste such as tikka or masala. Time and servings
