About the ingredients for Chickpea and chorizo salad with potatoes

potatoes - this recipe needs baby potatoes  cooked with there skins on, any variety will work perfectly 

Chorizo - a good spicy chorizo that you can cut into chunks, the thin sliced chorizo can be used in an emergency but its not ideal 

Spinach leaves - we recommend spinach for this dish as it needs a strong salad leave

Red onion - This recipe needs a sweet onion, so ideally red onions or shallots 

Sun dried tomato - this dish needs a strong tomato flavour that you get with sun dried tomatoes 

Chickpeas - we use tinned chickpeas for convenience but if you have some leftover cooked chickpeas then you can use them
