Another dish I made for my Arabian Nights feast: a smooth, flavourful salad of chickpeas with yoghurt, cumin, coriander (cilantro) and mint. Using fresh chickpeas would make this even tastier; just make sure you soak them overnight. I sprinkled this with pomegranate seeds just before serving - pretty and delicious.
Chickpea & Yoghurt Salad
400g (14 oz) tin chickpeas, well rinsed and drained
3/4 cup plain Greek yoghurt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp caster (superfine) sugar (or ordinary sugar)
1 small handful coriander (cilantro) leaves, roughly chopped
1 small handful mint leaves, roughly chopped
1 tsp salt
pomegranate seeds (optional)
Mix the chickpeas, yoghurt, ground cumin, sugar, coriander, mint and salt in a bowl and stir to combine thoroughly. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds to serve.

I already bookmarked this. It seems like such a great recipe to keep on hand, I love all the fresh herbs and the tanginess from the yogurt. I will let you know how it turns out.

Thanks Julie! I only use natural lighting.
Looks wonderful! I often make a yogurt with those flavourings (often with a squeeze of lemon or lime, too), and love it in wraps and things. Why haven't I ever thought to toss it with chickpeas?!
Mmm, this definitely looks refreshing. Saving it!
Wow! This looks so delicious. And this is with some yogurt! It seems so perfect to me.
Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it
from somewhere? A design like yours with a few
simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design.
Thank you
