Roasted carrot, courgette and chickpea salad, rose harissa, lime and mint

DifficultyBeginner

This middle eastern inspired salad came about after a glut of courgettes were delivered to us from a neighbour and we had some carrots that needed using in the fridge. Rose Harissa is an amazing chilli paste that can be used in many ways, once you start using it you'll never stop.
