Moroccan Chickpea Salad Recipe

A spicy, healthy, quick and easy chickpea salad recipe. You don't need to cook anything to make a delicious and nutritious feast. We blackened and cooked the peppers ourselves but you can buy them ready roasted in any good food shop or store.
Chickpeas - Garbanzos are a great source of fiber and protein. They're quite bland in character and so lend themselves very nicely to taking on other stronger flavours, such as spices and citrus juices.
This salad makes a refreshing lunch on a summer's day and is quite hearty enough to eat as a winter salad.
A great Mediterranean Diet treat.
Eat well - feel full and satisfied and lose those excess pounds without undue effort.

Chickpea Salad Recipe Method

Right - this is really easy.
Put your chickpeas in a salad bowl and roughly squash few of them with a fork - it helps them to absorb the flavours.
Roughly chop the red peppers and add them to the bowl with the capers, olives and 3/4 of the chopped coriander.
Whisk the spices into your vinaigrette and add to the bowl.
Mix well and sprinkle with the rest of the coriander.
Serve it on it's own for vegetarian delight or add canned tuna or even grilled chicken.
