Notes
- Ensure that your vegetables are chopped uniformly for a pleasing texture. You can dice them finely or keep them a bit chunky, depending on your preference.
- If you like it extra hot, add chopped green chilies or a pinch of red chili flakes. Adjust the spice level to your taste.
- When mixing the ingredients, taste the salad as you add seasonings. This way, you can adjust the flavors to your liking.
- After assembling all the ingredients, allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- You can batch-cook dried chickpeas and keep them in the freezer already portioned to use them in salads instead of using canned chickpeas.
- If using large European cucumbers, I would suggest you deseed them before slicing.
- This salad is best when eaten fresh. However, you can cook the chickpeas in advance and keep them in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days.
