This is my second recipe with brown chickpeas, in the previous recipe with brown chickpeas – Recipe of Brown Chickpeas Gravy/Curry  I had blended  brown chickpeas with green capsicum for a  nutritious curry; brown chickpeas are smaller, darker seeds, this type of pulse is mostly cultivated in  Pakistan, India and other parts of South Asia, as well as in Ethiopia, Mexico, and Iran.

Chickpeas are a nutrient-dense food, providing rich content of protein, dietary fiber, folate, and certain dietary minerals, such as iron and phosphorus.

In my second recipe with brown chickpeas, rather than making a curry dish of brown chickpeas I wanted to try a different recipe with this pulse to suit its robust flavour.

This salad recipe of brown chickpeas is a simple recipe requiring few ingredients, a recipe for vegetarian protein salad that is served as a side dish during a meal.
