This chickpea salad tastes as delicious as it looks, and works beautifully as the main course with fried eggplants and some crusty olive bread 🤤 , or as a side for fish, prawns or simple Za’atar spiced chicken thighs.
Dressing:
You can use any chilli pepper, but keep the heat level to a minimum, opt for a medium spice level pepper.
Mashing the garlic: finely chop the garlic, add a pinch of salt, then add to a mortar & pestle and mash. You can also do this with the back of the knife.
