Although Autumn has already welcomed us here, it’s still so hot and we still prefer having light dishes for lunch. Do you remember piyaz, a very common bean salad here? I wanted to try a similar one with chickpeas today, with an addition. I’m sure you all love hummus. What makes this dip that delicious? For me, it’s the combination of chickpeas and tahini. So I decided to prepare a dressing with tahini for this chickpea salad. And the reasult was perfect!
You can have this salad as it is or with some roasted vegetables.

What a beautiful salad. Serving in the simple white bowl helps to accentuate the roundness of the chickpeas. The garnish is beautiful as well.
Zerrin’ciğim ne kadar taze ve lezzetli görünüyor. Burada düdüklü tencerem yok, eve dönmeyi beklemeden hazır pişmiş nohutlardan alıp hemen deneyeceğim. Eline sağlık canım:))
