[Music] Bonjour. Come on, Talibu. Today we’re going to be learning a traditional French salad which is an amazing meal replacer salad. It’s called salad niswas. And you know what is the special element in this salad? The green the green goddess dressing. Check out the recipe. Salad niswas. Let’s start with the dressing first. This is a green goddess dressing. All you need is some garlic, some fresh parsley and chives, nutritional yeast, sesame butter, some miso paste, lemon juice, water, and blend into a delicious green goddess dressing. Add in some salt, and voila, it’s ready. Look at this color. Isn’t it yummy? Now, let’s go to the salad. For the salad, you need chickpeas, which are soaked overnight and pressure cooked, of course. All you do is mash them up. Add in some capers. Add in the little bit of green goddess dressing and mix this. This forms the base of your salad. Okay. And then surround the plate with whatever you like. But we have used cherry tomatoes, onions, green beans which are steamed, steamed potatoes and in and some rocket leaves. And in the center we will put the chickpea mash. And then you can garnish it with coriander, parsley, whatever it is that you like. You could even garnish it with any herbs of your choices and some capers. And what a delicious meal replacer salad. Nikquas is ready. Bonapati. [Music]
