Chickpea and Grape Salad
8 servings
15 minutes
Chickpeas, grapes, celery and nuts are not an obvious set for a salad, but that makes it all the more interesting. It's hard to say what plays the main role in this set, because there's also the dressing for it - a mix of tahini, vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup and various spices and herbs. The poppy seeds, which must be added to the sauce, also give the salad a sweet confectionery character.
