Curry Chickpea Salad Food

CURRIED CHICKPEA SALAD (15 MINUTES)

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients into the bowl and using a potato mash, a fork or a pastry cutter, blend it together until just combined. You don't want it too mushy but you want to break down the chickpeas and incorporate all the ingredients. You could also use a food processor for about 5 pulses.
• Scrape everything together and taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.
• Serve on a bed of greens, in a lettuce wrap, in a sandwich, or on crackers/as a dip or however you desire. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat a sauté pan large enough to easily hold the beans over medium heat. When hot, add the oil to heat, then add the onion and sauté until deeply colored, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring periodically.

• Add the chickpeas, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
• Remove from heat and cool. Store in the refrigerator, or mix in the fresh cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.
