Categories     Stew

Time 10m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1 large tomatoes, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder

Steps:

  • Saute all ingredients in a large frying pan over medium high heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add a little water if necessary, to prevent sticking. Serve over rice or cous cous.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe chickpeas. Canned chickpeas can be used in a pinch, but fresh chickpeas will give your salad a better flavor and texture.
  • Cook the chickpeas properly. Chickpeas should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. If you're using canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Don't skip the marinade. The marinade helps to flavor the chickpeas and make them more tender. Be sure to let the chickpeas marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include bell peppers, carrots, celery, and avocado.
  • Add some protein. This salad is a great source of plant-based protein, but you can add some additional protein if you like. Some good options include grilled chicken, tofu, or beans.
  • Dress the salad to taste. The dressing for this salad is a simple vinaigrette, but you can adjust the proportions of vinegar and oil to suit your taste. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as herbs, spices, or honey.

Conclusion:

This Mexican-style chickpea salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this recipe a try!
