WARM CHICKPEA
SALAD
- "Eaten at HaKosem, one of the best falafel shops in Tel Aviv." - Susanne
TIPS
Together with falafels you also get the whole family full. I find the falafel mixes from the health food store very good. You can save yourself the effort of making them yourself. I compared them once and there was no difference in taste, but it saved a lot of time.
Such a salad is wonderful to mix in more greens. In the photo above you can also find the green of spring onions. If you have them in the house, cut some into the salad.
If the onions are too spicy raw, you can slice them a few hours earlier and marinate them with some water and apple cider vinegar. They will then become milder.
PREPARATION
Slice the red onion into a bowl. I use the Slicer from Myiosus. My mother swears by it. She even ordered one for my ex-husband because he didn’t have one.
- Cut the cucumber into fine strips.
- Wash and spin the spinach or chard and add to the bowl as well.
- Heat olive oil in a pan
- Add the chickpeas with plenty of soaking water to the pan and heat until the chickpeas are well warmed. Season with a little salt. As you can see, mine got a big helping of coarse salt. And it worked well in the combo.
- Now squeeze the lemon and pour it over the spinach, onion and cucumber mixture.
- Add olive oil and mix it all together.
- Divide between two plates and place the chickpeas in the center of each.
