For the bowl

  • Slice the radishes and set aside.
  • Drain the chickpeas and rinse well in a colander (this makes sure you remove all of the liquid that the FODMAPs have leeched out into!).
  • Drain the quinoa and let sit for a few minutes to dry out a little bit-it can be quite wet!
  • Remove the carrots and broccoli from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes while you prepare your bowl!
  • Split the quinoa across two bowls, Top with the chickpeas, radishes, carrots and broccoli and drizzle the lemon dressing (see instructions below) over the top. Garnish with fresh coriander.

For the lemon dressing

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, greek yoghurt, milk and salt and pepper until iot has combined.
  • This dressing keeps for up to 3 days refrigerated. Just cover it so that it doesn't dry out!

Notes
