Indian Chickpea Salad Recipe

Indian chickpea salad recipe is an amazing salad recipe which I have tried recently on the request of my hubby. He always adores salad recipes as he is little health conscious certainly more than me 😉

This chickpea recipe is absolutely delicious and healthy. You can have it as much as you want without feeling any guilt of over eating. It is a quick recipe which doesn’t need much of the cooking.

It can also be prepared in advance and stored to be eaten next day. In fact, it’s even more delicious the next day when the spices have had even more time to intermingle. You can also combine this salad with bread and can prepare chickpea salad sandwich. I am sure kids will love it:-)

In this chickpea recipe, I have marinated the chickpeas for 1 hour but you can marinate it from 10 minutes to several hours depending on time you got. The more time you give for marination, better will be taste 🙂

As a result of marination, the nutty flavour of chickpeas is infused with aroma of spices. You can then add lemon and carrot to chickpeas to give the piquant flavour of lemon mixed with sweetness of carrots. Gather all the ingredients, top with fresh green onions and chaat masala and mix in a bowl and that is it. Tadaaa !! summer chickpea salad is ready to serve.

This chickpea salad is super duper easy recipe which, feels like, can be made without even opening eyes. I loved it and hope you will like it too. So here is the recipe !!
