Ingredients

chickpea salad Ingredients
  • Chickpeas: aka garbanzo beans. You can use canned or cooked chickpeas. If using canned, then drain and rinse it. I have cooked the dried chickpeas using Instant Pot Chickpeas method.
  • Cucumber: I used Persian cucumber, English cucumbers work too.
  • Tomatoes: I used Roma but cherry tomatoes work too.
  • Onion: red onion works best in salads so that’s what I used.
  • Herbs: I used cilantro but feel free to use dill leaves or some parsley or other fresh herbs you have.
  • Olive oil: extra virgin works best
  • Lime juice: I used the juice of half lime. Feel free to increase or decrease according to your preference.
  • Seasoning: salt, black pepper
