Another salad which was a huge hit at home. Again, a super easy salad which can be put together in less than 10 minutes.

I used black chickpeas in this recipe, but you can use the normal chickpeas. I used the dried chickpeas which I cooked after soaking, but you can use the canned version if that is easier.

Chickpea Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried chickpeas (I used black chickpeas in this recipe)
• 2 medium sized onions, finely chopped
• 2 medium sized tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 medium sized potato, boiled, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 medium sized red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

• Soak the dried chickpeas in water for 6-8 hours (or overnight), drain and cook in a pressure cooker till the chickpeas are soft and mash when pressed.
• Drain the chickpeas and let it cool.
• In a large serving dish, mix together the chickpeas, all the chopped vegetables and coriander leaves and mix well.
• Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper just before serving, mix well and serve.
• This is a yummy dish when you eat it cold and is wonderful in warm summer days.
