To make a satisfying salad it’s all about balance: here, Simon uses currants for sweetness, dijon dressing for a hit of spicy-tanginess, quinoa and chickpeas to bulk it up (with healthy protein!) and walnuts for the perfect crunch.

- 200g mixed leaves
- 50g walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 x 420g can chickpeas
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, roughly chopped
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup currants
- Extra virgin olive oil

For the dressing, add all the ingredients to a jar and shake. Once it’s fully mixed together, pour over the salad and mix to coat the salad in the dressing. Add the currants and stir through.
