Preparing eggplant and chickpea salad – a delicious and healthy recipe with easy steps

In this video, we will learn how to prepare one of the most delicious and beneficial salads in the Middle East: eggplant and chickpea salad. This salad combines the rich taste of grilled eggplant with the distinctive flavor of chickpeas, with a delicious dressing that makes it an ideal appetizer or even a filling snack.

We start by preparing the eggplant, peppers, and garlic. We grill them either over direct heat or in the oven until they are tender and acquire a delicious smoky flavor. Then, we peel them and chop them coarsely or mash them, depending on your preference. Next, we move on to our second essential ingredient: chickpeas. You can use fresh, boiled chickpeas or canned chickpeas after draining and washing them well.

Combine the eggplant with the chickpeas and the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, then add chopped parsley, a pinch of cumin, a pinch of black pepper, and salt to taste. For a distinctive flavor, add fresh lemon juice and a little olive oil.

Blend all ingredients together until smooth, then serve cold, garnished with whole chickpeas and parsley leaves, and perhaps a sprinkle of sumac or pomegranate molasses for added flavor.

This salad is not only delicious and easy to prepare, but it is also rich in plant-based proteins and fiber, making it suitable for those following a vegetarian or healthy diet.
