In this wonderful healthy salad, chickpeas are first cooked in salt cumin water, that makes them more digestible as well as adding a nutty and peppery flavours to the chickpeas. The chickpeas are then dressed in a spicy vinaigrette.
- 250 g Dried chickpeas
- 1/3 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1-2 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1/3 tsp Chilli powder
- 1-2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp Parsley, finely chopped
- 2-3 tbsp Walnut oil
- Place the chickpeas in a bowl and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Soak the chickpeas for 4 hours or overnight. Drain the chickpeas and discard the soaking water.
- Add the chickpeas, salt, cumin seeds and water to the pressure cooker so that the cooker is no more than one-third full. Lock the lid onto the pressure cooker and activate the desired program setting. Allow pressure to be fully released before removing the lid.
- Drain the chickpeas and place in a large bowl. Add the ground cumin , minced garlic, chilli powder, lime juice, chopped parsley, walnut oil, and salt to taste. Toss well. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature. Check the seasoning and add more salt or lime juice if needed. You can serve the chickpeas mounded on some lettuce leaves if desired.

Admission, never cooked dried chickpeas but I will. Also, I had a version of this at a place in NY (argo tea) this week and have been craving it ever since- so happy to have a recipe.

Your chickpea salad looks so yummy and one new thing I learnt boiling chickpea with cumin seeds that I never do, I use to add cumin after boiling it! Thanks for sharing the tips!
Angie, I love the simplicity of this chickpea recipe, sounds wonderful!
I used to buy canned chickpeas, but after soaking my first batch and finding the texture and flavor to be so much better, I'll never buy canned again. I can't wait to try this salad with my soaked chickpeas!

Hi Angie,
I must confess, I've never used the dried ones, only ones from a can. Now I now how to fix them, love cumin, I just love it's earthy flavor. Hope you have a great weekend.

I'm going to start soaking and cooking with dried chickpeas instead of canned - much less sodium and more crunch, too :) I love the simplicity of this recipe and cumin, yum!
I've been seeing more chick pea salads and they do look good. I like the flavors in this recipe and think it would be great on it's own or as part of a composed salad plate;-)
I used to make chickpea salad a lot, but have not made any just by itself in such a long time. I also add cumin too, and now that I have walnut oil that I received as a giveaway winner...oh, Yes!!! Thanks Angie, for sharing your super yummy recipe:DDD

Even in the midst of sadness, I find such solace visiting the blogs that I've grown to love this past year. I hope you have a wonderful start to your week, my friend. A big hug from Austin!
i think cumin was made to complement beans of all kinds, black beans in particular. it's absolutely wonderful with garbanzo beans too, so i think this is a wonderful salad!
