Healthy chickpeas salad loaded with veggies

While we indulge on the home made rich food & sweet dishes sometimes, need to check on my family's health & my sugar level as well. So I go a soup salad way and a very simple meal for the husband and my girl for lunch/dinner few days of the week. This chickpeas salad with veggies is so simple to assemble and you can have at any time of the day and it will keep your stomach full for a longer duration. You can do few variation by replacing chickpeas with cooked rajma/kidney beans of different types.




Ingredients:

Cooked chickpeas: 1 cup
Onion: 1 small chopped
Red, green & yellow bell pepper: half cup chopped
Cucumber: 3-4 tbsp. chopped
Tomato: 1 small chopped
Salt to taste
Amchur powder: 1tsp
Juice of one small lime
Chopped Fresh coriander

How to assemble:

Soak the chickpeas overnight and cook the chickpeas in a pressure cooker up to 2-3 whistles or till it cooks. Remember not to overcook  the chickpeas. In a mixing bowl add all the above ingredients and mix well. Now sprinkle the chopped coriander.  You can have it this way or keep in the refrigerator and serve cold.
