Recipe video above. The best Chickpea Salad I've ever had! Inspired by a recipe from "Jerusalem" by Yotam Ottolenghi, spiced chickpeas give this a wow factor and the Dressing is a beautiful lemon vinaigrette that is not as sharp as most lemon dressings.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comCombine the Dressing ingredients in a jar and shake. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
Place chickpeas in a large bowl. Scatter over Spices, then toss to coat. The wetness of the chickpeas will make the spices stick.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over high heat and fry the chickpeas for a couple of minutes. Shake the pan so the chickpeas roll, or stir gently (so the spice coating doesn't come off). Transfer into bowl and cool slightly.
Combine the Salad Ingredients in a bowl. Drizzle with a bit of Dressing and toss. Transfer to serving bowl.
Top salad with chickpeas (warm or at room temperature). Drizzle with more Dressing. Toss very gently, if desired (don't toss too much otherwise spice comes off chickpeas). Serve immediately.
Great served with a dollop of yoghurt and pita bread to stuff the salad into.
