Use a touch of harissa to liven up a healthy chickpea salad. It takes just 10 minutes to whip up and makes an ideal side dish for slow-cooked Greek lamb

Method

  1. Mix all the ingredients together, mashing a little so the chickpeas are a bit rough round the edges – this helps absorb the dressing. (Can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge.) Try it with slow-cooked Greek lamb and tzatziki sauce.

Excellent recipe. I added sea salt and ground pepper and substituted lime for the lemon. My vegan dinner guests made all the right noises :)

I will definitely make this again! Only had sriracha so I used that instead of the harissa. We loved it! So quick and simple!

Delicious salad! I doubled the quantities and added a tin of butter beans too. Definitely serve with flatbread or similar to mop up the juices - I didn't and wished I had! Will definitely make again.

Delicious recipe, although salad on its own never fills me up! What I did was - I added 1 tablespoon of the salad onto a flour tortilla, and poured 1 tbsp of soured cream on it - it ended up being the most delicious wrap ever & filled me up! Extra ingredients used: 1 pack of Old El Paso Regular Super Soft Flour Tortillas x8 + 1 pot of Soured Cream
