The State of Tamil Nadu in South India is the origin for Madras Curry, versatile salads, and stir-fry. Of course, locally they are known by different names. A twist on a traditional salad, my chickpea salad can be made as an appetizer or a healthy snack with tea. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained |
1 mango - peeled and diced |
1 cup chopped hearts of romaine (optional) |
1/2 cup diced cucumber |
1/2 cup diced carrot |
1/4 cup diced celery (optional) |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
salt to taste |
1 cup chopped pineapple |
Directions:
1. Toss together the garbanzo beans, mango, romaine lettuce, cucumber, carrot, celery, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl. Let the mixture set for 30 minutes. Top the salad with the pineapple to serve.
