Indian Chickpea Salad with Ginger
Posted on | June 20, 2011 | 5 Comments
This fresh and healthy Indian dish is a great for a get-together with friends or a quick dinner. Once the beans are cooked or if you use canned garbanzo beans, this salad will be ready in no time. The fresh ginger and cumin create the Indian flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups / 330 g cooked or canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 orange bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 3 spring onions, chopped
- thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 3/4 tbsp sugar
- 2 to 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cumin
- salt, pepper, to taste
- 2 to 3 tbsp chopped cilantro
Directions
In a bowl, mix together the chickpeas with the red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, the red onion and the spring onion. Add the sugar, ginger and the lemon juice. Mix well.
In a dry pan, roast the cumin until fragrant. Add the cumin and the chopped cilantro to the salad. Mix well.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with some chopped cilantro.
Guten Appetit!!!

I made this earlier in the year, it’s delicious! This weekend, I’m hosting a dinner party and I will be making this again along with the coconut milk curry prawns.
