Ingredients

2 T olive oil
1 x 200 g pack Woolworths back bacon
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 t paprika
1 chilli, diced
1 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 cups Swiss chard, shredded
Radish, sliced, to garnish

To make the dressing:

1⁄2 cup thick plain yoghurt
1⁄2 lemon, juiced
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Method

Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the Woolworths back bacon until crispy, then set aside.
Fry the garlic in the same pan for 10 seconds, then add paprika and diced chilli and toast for 30 seconds over a low heat.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas.
Divide the shredded Swiss chard between the 4 bowls and top with the chickpeas and bacon. Garnish with sliced radish.

Cook’s note: Substitute baby spinach for the Swiss chard if you like.
