A bowl of salad is bliss in summer when heavy and oily food is hard to digest. This chickpea salad bowl is a power packed meal full of nutrition. The star of the dressing is smoked paprika which has lifted up a regular dressing. Hope you would love the dressing. This salad is so filling that you can even skip your dinner
This salad is a combination of different textures like tomato and apricots are soft side, walnuts have crunch and carrots n cucumbers add freshness. Boiled chanas provide you the high valued proteins. The dressing is not overboarded with fats. This has all the contrasts like smoked peprika balances the sweetness of honey. In fact this dressing over Chana salad will remind you the chatpata Chana chaat, which possesses all the flavours to satisfy your taste buds
