CHICKPEA AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH FRESH MINT



Chickpea and Cucumber Salad with Fresh Mint image

This Chickpea and Cucumber Salad with Fresh Mint is a refreshing minty salad for any time of year.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cucumbers (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 3/4 cups canned or cooked chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 cups roughly chopped mint leaves
2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
1/3 cups currants
1 1/2 teaspoons whole fennel seeds
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Add remaining ingredients, and toss well to combine. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve salad at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp cucumbers: Avoid cucumbers that are wilted or have soft spots.
  • Peel the cucumbers if desired: Peeling the cucumbers will give the salad a smoother texture, but it is not necessary.
  • Chop the cucumbers into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use canned or cooked chickpeas: If using canned chickpeas, rinse and drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • Add other vegetables to the salad: Some good options include tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and celery.
  • Use a light dressing: A simple vinaigrette or Greek yogurt dressing is a good option.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served cold, so chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:
