Notes

LEFTOVERS TIP

This Dressing makes a fantastic dip for your crudité platter. I love having a big platter to welcome people and to get the eating started. I find conversation flows better whilst food is within easy reach.
The Roast Chickpeas make a great alternative to croutons for a salad as well.
