Method
Turmeric dressing
- Combine the hummus, turmeric, garlic, zest, juice, red onion and whisk vigorously. Season to taste with sherry vinegar, salt and pepper.
Zucchini, tomato and chickpea salad
- Heat the griddle plate on medium-high heat, induction setting 7.
- Coat the zucchini with a little olive oil and salt.
- Once the plate is hot, place zucchini flesh side down, for around 4 minutes. Rotate and cook until tender and charred.
- While the zucchini is cooking, add half of the remaining oil to a frying pan over medium-high heat, induction setting 7. Add the bread and cook until browned all over, adding more oil if needed. Tear the bread into smaller pieces once cooked and season well with salt.
- Once the zucchini is cooked, place onto a chopping board and roughly chop into smaller pieces.
- Place the tomatoes, garlic, grilled zucchini, chickpeas, fried sourdough, olives, almonds and herbs in a mixing bowl. Using your hands, toss together until evenly mixed.
To serve
- On a large platter, spread out the turmeric dressing and top with the zucchini, tomato and chickpea salad.
