Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

By

Salads are My all time fav and i skip lunch and have salads instead some times . Today am here with an delicious salad recipe to share which have become mine and H’s fav salad . I have always loved  the flavors in Greek style dishes! So this salad has all the flavour of Mediterranean incorporated to which i have made some change .This recipe is highly nutritious as it makes a great side dish, or quick and healthy snack by itself..It can also be  made as  an wonderful salad topper that pairs perfect with a grilled foods .. Thank so much to +Shobha Keshwani  ji  of Food Mazza to bring this to potluck party this month 🙂  We enjoyed this fresh salad completely . 

Ingredients

For Salad 

Chickpeas 1 cup (boiled)
Tomatoes 1 (diced)  ( I have used cherry tomatoes)
Onion 1 chopped into small pieces
Cilatro / Parsley …. handful  (chopped )  you may substitute it with coriander
Paneer – 2 tbsp (cut in to small pieces)

For the dressing

Olive oil 1 tbsp
Lemon juice or vinegar .. 1 tbsp ( I have used White Vinegar )
Garlic 1 cloves (crushed)
Hung curd / thick yogurt … 1 tbsp
Black pepper – For seasoning (to taste)
Salt  to taste
Cumin pd – 1 tsp

Method

  •  Mix all the salad ingredients in a bowl.
  •  In another bowl combine together the dressing ingredients.
  • Pour the dressing in the salad ingredients and toss them well with the help of fork and Spoon till well combined.
  • Refrigerate and serve it chilled.
Tips
  • You can use Tofu/ feta cheese instead of paneer. The original recipes call for feta cheese but i made them with paneer.
  • You can also add parsley to the recipe for extra flavour .
  • This salad taste more delicious when served chilled. 
  •  If you don’t find cherry tomato you can chop the whole tomato and add to the salad.

Thanks to shobha ji to bring this delicious salad this Month .
