My Favorite Chickpea Salad Food

MY FAVORITE CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Soak chickpeas overnight in 3 cups water. In the morning, drain the water, rinse the chickpeas and transfer then to an Instant Pot with 2-3 cups water. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.Or you can use 2 3/4 cups of canned chickpeas.
• Transfer the cooked chickpeas to a bowl. Add the chopped onions, cucumber, olives and dates.Add the dried oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.
• In another jar or bowl, make the dressing by mixing together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard and maple syrup. Mix until it's all well combined.
• Pour dressing over the salad and mix really well until everything is well combined.
• Add in the freshly chopped parsley and mix. You can serve this chickpea salad immediately but I like to cover and chill for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. This helps in brining the flavors together.
