Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans have been added into salads for many years. From Middle Eastern cuisine to everyday salads, they are an integral part of what we eat.
Even if you think you don’t eat or like chickpeas, chances are you may have without knowing it.
Hummus is made with chickpeas. Chickpeas are cooked and then ground into a paste. You’ve probably had it as a dip, in a wrap or sauces.
Chickpea that is ground into flour is called gram flour or besan. Popular Indian snacks like bhaji, samosa and pakoras are all usually made with gram flour.
Chickpeas do come in dry form which you have to resurrect by soaking them overnight or to make it nice and easy, you can just get canned chickpeas which are ready to go. Just drain them, a quick rinse and when dried, add them as they are into your salad recipes.
This chickpea salad collection features recipes that are gluten free, vegetarian, salads with grains, rice and pasta as well as vegan options. Enjoy them all and hopefully you’ll find a salad that will become your staple for years to come!
