Mediterranean Balela Salad is a bright and healthy chickpea salad made with fresh parsley, onion, tomato, garlic, and fresh lemon juice.
Ingredients
- 15.5 ounce can chickpeas
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley chopped
- 1 garlic clove finely minced
- 1/4 cup red onion minced
- 1 Roma tomato chopped
- 1 lemon the juice of
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sumac
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl, stir to combine. Add salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least an hour for the flavors to meld. Even better the next day! Enjoy!
Notes
- Store the salad in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Sumac is a maroon colored spice that adds a tangy, lemony flavor to your dish. It's perfect in this salad and is amazing sprinkled on hummus, Greek salad, and kabobs.
- While I do use reconstituted dried chickpeas for some recipes, I find the canned variety is best for this recipe.
