Deconstructed Hummus Salad
Report
Deconstructed Hummus Salad is a simple chickpea salad with all the components of a great hummus, and I think you'll find lots of other uses for the creamy lemon tahini dressing, too...
Share:
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- olive oil
- 2 15- ounce cans of chickpeas
- 1 cup parsley leaves well rinsed and dried
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
dressing
- 2 Tbsp Tahini
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice maybe more
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put a couple of teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet and heat on medium. Add the pine nuts and stir until toasted and browned, this will only take a few minutes. Stir constantly or they will burn. Set aside to cool.
- Drain the beans and rinse them very well. Shake off all the excess water and put them in a large bowl.
- Finely chop the parsley and add it to the bowl along with the garlic and the pine nuts.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients and add enough water (maybe up to 4 tablespoons) to thin it out a bit. Give it a taste and add more salt, or lemon, if you need it.
- Toss the salad with enough dressing to coat well, and refrigerate for an hour or two to get it nice and chilled.
- Add more dressing if needed just before serving.
Notes
- Canned chickpeas are great, and I use them all the time. I just make sure to rinse them well to remove the 'canned' flavor. You can certainly use dried chickpeas that you have soaked and cooked.
- As you can see I've taken a few liberties with the recipe and added parsley, which isn't normally in hummus, but I thought the salad needed a little fresh green in there. If you want to stray further from the hummus theme, other nice additions might be halved grape tomatoes, olives, red onion, and cucumber.
- You can make this ahead and then re-fresh it with a little more dressing just before serving.
