    Chickpeas Salad

    Dec 13, 2013 · Modified: Dec 20, 2020 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

    The name of salad, many would run a mile, trust me i too was one among them. But, then i later learned and still learning new ways to experiment with them, so i m enjoying salads these days. This chickpea salad is one, which i make often, for the obvious reason, it is so damn easy to make. Just mix and serve. 
    Chickpeas are rich in protein and fiber and also has a low glycemic index, that helps you to feel full for a longer time, so curbing cravings/hunger pangs, this helps a lot during weight-loss.

    Ingredients
    1 cup boiled chickpeas/1 tin canned chickpeas
    1 medium cucumber
    1 onion
    Seasoning
    ½ teaspoon lemon juice
    ¼ teaspoon pepper powder
    2-3 nos mint leaves,  crushed

    Method

    • If using dried chickpeas,  soak overnight,  drain water completely.  Add 1.5 cups fresh water and pressure cook with salt until soft, drain excess water completely and use for the salad. 
    • If using canned chickpeas,  drain the can-water completely,  wash the chickpeas under running water to wash off all the salt . Drain and use for the salad. 
    • Once the chickpeas are ready,  take it a wide bowl.  Add chopped cucumber,  chopped onion,  add salt,  pepper,  crushed mint leaves, toss well. Add lemon juice just before serving. Walnuts can be added for an extra crunch. 
    • If packing of lunch,  pack the seasoning separately and add just before having the salad.

      I love chana salad and I too make it very often when I have to fix a meal just for myself. I throw in some carrots also to this salad and use chili powder instead of pepper. Lately, roasted cumin powder is has become a must for this salad.
