This stunning leftover Chickpea Salad is an easy, flavourful and an aromatic one featuring Chickpeas as one of the hero ingredient. In this beautiful innovative version, i had used beaten Curd with a variety of spices and herbs to give it an interesting zing. And also one more star ingredient which is the fresh Oregano that would make this super tempting Salad a perfectly flavourful one as well. You would definitely fall in love with this amazing variation. To make it more creamier, I also blended two tablespoons of Chickpeas from the leftover Salad for that awesome texture and flavour.

It's a great option as an appetizer too. No matter what, the freshness and the texture both would definitely be loved by all. It's such a delightful and a healthy one. A perfect side to meals, an appetizer or a starter as well as an excellent snack option for all those fitness freaks as well. This is just wow. With a variety of colourful Vegetables and a flavourful dressing with a hint of tanginess, it is absolutely vibrant and loaded with awesomeness. Dig into this beautiful looking Salad on any day with your loved ones and experience the most simplest and the easiest as well as the most creamier dish perfectly balanced with health and immunity boosters.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
