Black Chana Salad, served on Lettuce leaves, Lettuce Wraps

Mar 20, 2017 · Modified: Dec 21, 2020 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

Sharing is caring!

It took me almost 2 weeks, to post this recipe. For reason unknown, i didn't touch my laptop or my camera all these days. Not touching laptop, can be considered healthy, but camera, that is total disaster. Signs of no creativity, brain-block, clogged mind and soul. 
I needed a drain remover to flush out my body and go touch and feel my camera again. It is not like i create stunning photos, but i keep in touch with my other side of brain and slow my aging and brain rust! These 2 weeks i feel like i have aged 10 years. 
I finally broke out of that tight chain, clogged drain and took my camera out and whipped my lazy bum, to shoot some pictures yesterday. 
Coming to the recipe, there isn't any here. A simple salad, served in  a funky way. It will definitely brighten your party table, serve it as an appetizer or part of a filling meal or just a light dinner to satiate your system after a heavy lunch.  Whatever it is, this salad sure will delight your senses. 
When i posted the picture in instagram, one of my friends tried it and gave me a thumbs up. A simple recipe, just boil the chickpeas and toss it with rest of the ingredients.

    I didn't know black chickpeas were a thing. Am I living under a rock? Are they the same as other chickpeas? I'm so intrigued I must find them and make this salad ASAP!

    I'm with Megan, I didn't know about black chickpeas, but then I live in North Central Ohio, where corn and soybeans rule.

    I've been feeling a lot of stress lately and that just kills any creativity I have. I'm hoping I'm able to follow your lead Priya and break through soon.

    I have never heard of black chickpeas before - that is so cool! It would give such a nice colour substitute to homemade hummus! This salad looks healthy and refreshing.

    I've heard heard of black chickpeas -- they give your salad a really nice look. The mint and coriander must add that special touch to the overall flavor of the salad. Great recipe.

    I didn't even know there was black channa. And can I tell you how happy I was to see someone call it channa and not give me a weird look. Now I'm going to be on the look out. This salad looks good and simple
