Kylie Kwong appeared with an enormous dish of this amazing salad just as I was setting up for our very first public appearance of Nolans Road at the Organic Expo in Sydney. She had made it for us to give to visitors to our little stand. That’s Kylie - as generous and thoughtful as anyone could ever be. She has used our Nolans Road Delicate extra virgin olive oil right from our first year of production, evolving her Chinese-inspired menu at Billy Kwong to incorporate this classic European staple. And then she discovered our Kabuli Chickpeas and created this recipe for her restaurant, Billy Kwong. Dee Nolan
