Variants may include coriander, sweet paprika, turmeric, pepper, chopped mint, chopped onions, or parsley.
Chickpea salad is high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and supports weight loss.[3]
History
[edit]Chickpea salad has been eaten in the Levant since at least the time of the Amorite kings, with Zimri-Lim being known in particular for lavish banquets at which the dish was one of the delicacies.[4]
Chickpea salad is eaten by vegans worldwide.[5] But it can be served as a side for meat dishes.[6] Chickpea salad is versatile and can be used as a sandwich filling.[7]
