I love chick peas and making my own hummus. This recipe could easily be made using canned chick peas and black beans if want to save time. Just remember to rinse them. It's an easy, beautiful dish that tastes great!

This is a healthy salad that we often make for lunch. Any type of raw vegetable can be used. Sometimes I substitute lime juice for the red wine vinegar and add chopped fresh cilantro.

I love avocado and chick peas. I wanted to make a satisfying salad that I wouldn't get tired of. So, to make the most of the rich avocado flavor, I used sushi vinegar instead of mayonnaise. The green color is so pretty, and I'm really happy with the result. That's why I posted the recipe here - it's for my own reminder.Adjust the microwave time for cooking the potato (mine was 4 minutes at 600W). Peel the potato while hot, and add sushi vinegar immediately after mashing to season well. For 2 servings. Recipe by Usagi no Cima

Our whole family loves chickpeas, and we cook them often—sometimes as a soup, sometimes as hummus, or as the salad I’m sharing today. I came up with this salad myself (the combination of ingredients), and I make it often. Everyone always enjoys it, even the kids. The beautiful mix of colors and flavors from the different vegetables gives the salad an amazing taste.

So, I was dieting for a Brazilian Jiu jitsu competition and this was one of the meals I used to stay healthy and make weight. This is a quick and easy recipe and of course, you can always add your touch.

I have not mentioned any quantity or measurements for this recipe as the ingredients can be adjusted according to taste.

The first and only recipe given to me by my momma. Great summer salad to use up tomatoes and cucumbers and tastes great on a hot summer day.
