Today I have a recipe for you that I really like: potato chickpea hummus salad. It is a fresh and healthy salad that you can easily make with a few ingredients. Moreover, it is a vegetarian dish that you can combine well with a piece of bread or a green salad. I like to make this salad when I feel like something other than the standard potato salad with mayonnaise. This salad has a delicious taste because of the hummus, which you can make yourself or buy ready-made. Potato salad
What is Hummus?
Hummus is a puree of chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, garlic, cumin and olive oil. It is a popular dish in the Middle East, where it is often eaten as a dip with bread or vegetables. Hummus is not only tasty, but also healthy. It contains a lot of protein, fiber, iron and vitamin B. You can make hummus in different flavors by adding paprika, parsley or coriander, for example.
Why is this salad so tasty?
This salad is so delicious because it is full of different flavors and textures. The potatoes are soft and creamy because of the hummus, the peppers are crunchy and sweet, the spring onions are fresh and spicy and the chickpeas are firm and nutty. The parsley gives a fresh touch to the whole. This salad reminds me of the sun and warmth of the Middle East, where hummus originated. It is a salad that you can eat well for lunch or as a side dish at a barbecue or picnic.
I hope you will try this recipe and enjoy it as much as I do.
