I remember during my college days my roommate used to consume chickpea salads a lot. I get quite emotional when I am preparing this dish. It is more than just a fibre-loaded recipe for me. It is a recipe that is tinged with the smell and taste of bygone days.
Anyways, we all know how important it is to consume fibres. An aid to soothe constipated bowel irregularities, to give our gut a healthy shape, fibre is no less than a superfood. I consume chickpea salad often— almost 2-3 times a week. Check this recipe out…It is super easy to make, and great to taste.
