Preparation method
Preparing the ingredients
Rinse the chickpeas and black beans thoroughly under cold running water and drain completely in a sieve.
Wash the vegetables and herbs. Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, and dice the cucumber into small cubes. Finely chop the green onions, fresh parsley, and mint leaves.
Making the dressing and assembling
In a small bowl or jar with a lid, mix the extra virgin olive oil with the freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon, finely crushed garlic, ground cumin, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix the dressing well until smooth.
Chef's tip
Balela salad is even tastier if chilled for 30 minutes before serving, allowing the chickpeas and beans to absorb all the lemon, garlic, and herb flavors.
It keeps well in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days, making it ideal for meal prep or office lunches.
