Indian Salad Bowl with Crunchy Chickpeas
Antonio Nascimento/Radiant: The Cookbook
This fresh and vibrant Indian-inspired salad bowl from Radiant: The Cookbook by Mafalda Pinto Leite just so happens to be packed with wrinkle-eliminating nutrients.
“Chickpeas are very rich in manganese, which enhances skin health and reduces fine lines and wrinkles by helping the skin to combat free radicals,” Leite explains in her book.
The results? If you eat it regularly, Leite says it will help you achieve a supple, radiant complexion—not to mention a fully satisfied palate and belly.
