This dish is surprisingly good considering the ingredients are so simple, and it's a cinch to make. It's better to eat the same day, once you stir in the fresh herbs.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons best-quality olive oil
1 cup diced onions
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a sauté pan large enough to easily hold the beans over medium heat. When hot, add the oil to heat, then add the onion and sauté until deeply colored, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring periodically.
  • Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and cayenne pepper (if using) and continue to sauté until the spices are aromatic and a bit toasted, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chickpeas, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Remove from heat and cool. Store in the refrigerator, or mix in the fresh cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much yogurt in the dressing.
