Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Baby potatoes
- 400 g Cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 medium Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 30 g Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Garlic clove (minced)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 150 g Optional: cherry tomatoes (halved)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and slightly cooled potatoes, chickpeas, red onion, parsley, and optional cherry tomatoes if using.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately at room temperature, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Potato and Chickpea Salad!
