This dish is surprisingly good considering the ingredients are so simple, and it's a cinch to make. It's better to eat the same day, once you stir in the fresh herbs.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons best-quality olive oil
1 cup diced onions
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a sauté pan large enough to easily hold the beans over medium heat. When hot, add the oil to heat, then add the onion and sauté until deeply colored, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring periodically.
  • Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and cayenne pepper (if using) and continue to sauté until the spices are aromatic and a bit toasted, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chickpeas, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Remove from heat and cool. Store in the refrigerator, or mix in the fresh cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I really enjoyed this salad. The curry dressing is very mild and the sweetness of the raisins and almonds really balances it out. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken in the fridge and decided to add it to this salad. It turned out great! The chicken added a nice protein boost and made the salad even more satisfying.
