Chick peas salad

Chick peas salad

Recently I have developed an obsession with salads, as it is easy to make, it is healthy and because you can do a lot of experiments with it easily. I have given a desi taste to this salad by adding a bit of chaat masala while making the vinaigrette. It has a correct blend of sweet and sour taste. You can just have a bowl of this for dinner or wrap it using chappathy for making a sandwich. The given amount will be good enough for four servings.
