Yes, it is time again to try a recipe from my favourite authors David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl from The Green Kitchen Stories! And I am 100% sure I will do you a great pleasure with this super creamy, fresh and delicious chickpea salad!
Now that I discovered how easy and great it is to make homemade veggie pancakes / wraps, I had to make these gorgeous yellow carrot turmeric babies again. And yes, I wanted a bit of a different filling than the last version I made (hummus, spinach, goats cheese and pomegranate seeds). The creamy chickpea salad recipe from The Green Kitchen at Home cookbook was still in the back of my mind.
Since I am eating less and less meat and animal products, I start to eat more and more legumes. A great source of nutrients, a good taste and great for a large variety of dishes, like this salad. The combination with apple makes it crispy and refreshing. The tahini dressing gives it a smooth and creamy feeling and texture.
I love it when a plan comes together like these wraps. And what I love even more is that the recipes from David and Luise make sense, they are perfect, easy and really bring value to your life. I love to develop my own recipes, but making recipes from others that are so good almost feels like a present!
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did / do!
