Here are two of my favourite foods for healthy skin – artichokes and ceci (Italian for chickpeas), working in harmony to provide nutrition for the skin.

Artichokes are incredibly good for restoring the liver and ceci are a great source of fibre plus a nutritional powerhouse.

With the addition of spinach leaves and rocket, this salad is a great detoxifier and will also give you a ‘Popeye the Sailor’ energy boost!

All in all, a healthy salad that can be part of your skin cleansing diet.

Ingredients (Serves 2-4)

Method

  1. Drain and wash well one can of organic ceci (400g)
  2. Toss the ceci in a small amount of olive oil, honey, lemon, paprika, cumin and sea salt, then roast in the oven on a flat tray for around 10 – 15 minutes at 200 degrees or until slightly crispy.
  3. Add the rocket, spinach leaves and artichokes to a salad bowl
  4. Add the ceci when ready
  5. Pour over the vinaigrette to taste

This salad is quick, nutritious and a great tonic for the skin.
