Ingredients
- 6 cups chickpeas I have used dry chickpeas and boiled them ahead of time. You may use canned chickpeas, boiled, aka garbanzo beans
- 1 large onion
- 1 large carrot red
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 1 clove garlic
- 10 piece dates
- 15 piece pistachio
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoon cilantro sorted, washed and chopped, leaves
- salt as per taste
Instructions
- Wash the veggies and chop onion, cucumber, garlic, and carrots. You may grate the carrots too. Pit and finely chop a handful of dates. Sort and wash cilantro leaves.
- In a large bowl, combine the boiled chickpeas, diced onion, chopped cucumber, carrot, and chopped dates, and add spices. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle the spices and a pinch of salt over the salad ingredients.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated with the dressing. Serve the Moroccan chickpea salad immediately or refrigerate if made ahead of time.
Notes
- If you're using dried chickpeas instead of canned ones, soak them overnight ( 2 hrs in hot water) and then pressure cook for 2 whistles on full flame and simmer for 20 min. This will ensure they have the perfect texture for your salad.
- For the best flavor, allow the salad to marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- If you are using canned chickpeas, the recipe would need just 10 minutes!
