CHICKPEA SALAD WITH CUMIN VINAIGRETTE



Chickpea Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette image

No such thing as too many chickpea salads! This was an especially good version I thought, altered a bit with my own and my BF's taste in mind. Extremely easy and no cooking involved, particularly good for lunch at the office or a weekend picnic since it's best at room temperature. If you'd like to make this for a no-cook summer dinner, it's a main meal for two (with a side of green vegetables) or a side dish for four. A Sara Foster recipe from the 4/2007 version of Cottage Living.

  • Cook chickpeas properly: If using dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your salad the best flavor and texture. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Make your own dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is all you need to dress this salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing if you're short on time.
  • Add some protein: If you want to make this salad a more complete meal, add some protein. Some good options include grilled chicken, tofu, or beans.

Conclusion:

Spanish chickpea salad is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try!
