Directions
- Cut the lemons in half. Set aside.
- Bring a non-stick pan or cast iron to high heat. Then add the lemon, cut-side down.
- Cook until deeply caramelized and browned, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool down slightly.
- Clean the pan, then return to the heat. Add the oil, grapes, chickpeas, and salt. Cook until the chickpeas are golden and the grapes are slightly charred.
- Meanwhile, juice and strain the lemons into a glass jar.
- Add the remaining dressing ingredients to the jar.
- Close the jar and shake vigorously until the dressing has emulsified.
- Optionally, Add the oil and croutons to a pan on medium-high heat. Toast for 2 - 3 minutes so they are extra crisp and flavourful.
- Only when ready to serve, combine the lettuce, grapes, chickpeas and croutons in a large bowl. Drizzle over the dressing, and enjoy!
Storage
- Best to enjoy immediately as the lettuce wilts soon after being tossed with the dressing.
- The dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Easily made and delicious side salade. Love it!
This was simple to make and so delicious. I used spinach leaves because I could not find lamb’s lettuce and it worked very well.
My husband was surprised and pleased. He eats greens, but he actually commented how much he liked this which is rare. It was also good warmed up the next day.
The dressing is a game changer!
I was surprised at how well this one turned out out since the seasoning seemed quite simple. I added some parsley, too and it was just yummy
When I say that my eyes widened when I had the first bite of this, I am not being dramatic at all! The salad was pretty easy to make, plus it turned out amazing! I am in love!
that dressing is really good. didn’t have grapes but added watermelon (uncooked), slightly sweet to complement the dressing. is made quickly, goes to my favorites :)
Zesty and fulfilling
Really delicious salad, perfect refreshing dish for summer!
Sweet, sour, leavy, chickpea 🥰
Tasted wonderful. Great variety in a salad with roasted grapes
I love it! The acidity from the lemons, the sweetness from the grapes, the saltiness from the croutons - it just is so good!!
I can’t state enough how amazing this salad is.
It is my go to when we have guests and everybody falls in love immediately
Simple and tasty recipe!! I forgot to add croutons but added some pine nuts and another time roasted hazelnut, both fit well in my opinion:) the dressing is quite sour/lemony, I added a little bit more maple syrup and another time tried out the tahin-sriracha dressing from the pizza with the potato slices, also fit well :)
Simple,very tasteful and colorful✨
that is such delicous salad, but you can cut out the croutons to minimize the calories
This is so good! Had it yesterday and it was the perfectly fresh dinner for a warm april night. Want to add caramalized red onions next time 🙆🏼♀️
The best slad I’ve ever made!
Very delicious ❤️❤️ I added vegan feta and beetroot as well. It fit very good with the sweetness of this dish!
So surprised at how filling and enjoyable this was! The grapes and croutons and chickpeas are all a different flavour and texture experience so it’s not a boring salad at all!
Simple, delicious, healthy - 10/10!
Charred lemon juice is so good!
Side note: I love love love the scaling feature on the app. I only had 125g of lamb lettuce, so I scaled down to 1 and 2/3 portions, which made it easy to adjust the amount of other ingredients.
So easy to make and so yummy to eat!
This is an excellent salad! Thank you so much for the recipe.
Best salad I've eaten in a long time, carmelizing lemons is a great idea!
Can we make the dressing in advance?
Very interesting and easy to make salad! Fried lemons and grapes was definitely a new thing for me. I would make this again.
Hi. Not heard of lambs lettuce before, and unfortunately neither had my grocery. Perhaps it’s not a thing here in Vancouver? Any suggestions for alternative greens that would go well?
Incredible flavour! I love it!
I happened to have some old bread, slightly chunky grapes and lettuce laying around, as if they were waiting for this recipe to be posted. It was super tasty!
I love the salad ❤️ but second time I added pistachios, swapped half of lemon for half orange, I added some garlic for frying cutons- made it even better! My husband is not vegan, he loved burrata with this salad :)
Simple and delicious! Never would have thought to cook grapes but it works!
Just made it for lunch. I added pomegranate seeds because I had them around and it added a nice touch. The dressing is to die for ❤️🩹
