Ingredients

  • For the salad:
  • 1/4 cup dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
  • 1/4 cup dried kidney beans
  • 1/4 cup dried black-eyed peas
  • 1/4 cup sprouts
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, finely chopped
  • 1/8 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1/8 cup peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 tomato, de-seeded and finely chopped
  • For the dressing:
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    If using dried : soak the chickpeas, kidney beans and black-eyed peas in separate bowls covered with plenty of water and leave for several hours, preferably overnight.
  2. 2
    Cook the beans in a large pot of water until tender (cooking times for each tend to vary, so cook separately if possible). Alternatively, you could use a pressure cooker for this. So much easier too. Wash the beans under running water to cool them down.
  3. 3
    Place all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar and shake/stir to mix. Add the cooled beans along with the onions, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, and sprouts to a large bowl and pour over 3/4 th of the dressing and toss through. Taste and add in the rest if needed. Serve right away, or refrigerate and serve cold.
  4. 4
    * Keeps well for up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
