Whenever, I boil dried beans of any sort, I make sure I cook a little more than I need. I love eating a few plain, nice and warm, just after they’ve cooked. Sometimes, I keep some aside to add to a salad. It just adds another dimension to the salad. This is exactly what I do when I boil dried chickpeas. If you want to know how its done, check this post. I simply love the colors.
Chickpea Salad
1/2 cup boiled chickpeas
1 onion, chopped
2 green chillies, finely chopped (optional)
1 tomato, chopped
1 tbsp. fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Salt, to taste
Crushed black peppercorns, to taste
A squirt of lime juice
Balsamic vinegar, to taste
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Check for salt and sourness.
Keep chilled till you’re ready to serve.

Beautiful salad! Garbanzo beans are a family favorite around here but I have never tried to cook them from scratch. Where do you get your dried beans? I haven't seen them at my local grocery store. The next time I'm out I will have to take a closer look. Thanks!
I love chickpea salads and how colourful they are! This one looks especially tasty!
Emily, I'm in India, so the local grocers have them. You may get them at a store that stocks Indian food items. I'm pretty sure the tinned beans will work fine too!
Thank u Bean!
The colors are stunning and I am sure the taste is as great Trisha!
Thanks Katerina!

This sounds interesting & simple enough to make! 🙂 I wonder if it would be good mixed in with cous cous to make it slightly more filling as a meal…
Monique, let me know if it works for you, I've never tried it with couscous!
