Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Thoroughly drain 125 ml tinned (canned) chickpeas.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Dry on a cloth.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Prepare 125 ml cauliflower and slice thinly (if you have one, a mandolin is ideal for this).

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Put the chickpeas and cauliflower in a salad bowl. Add ½ shallot finely chopped and a little chopped parsley.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Prepare the dressing by mixing 75 ml Greek yoghurt, ½ tablespoon tahini (sesame paste) and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.

Salt and pepper then checking the seasoning.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Pour the dressing into the bowl and mix everything together.

Your salad is ready.

Remarks

If you don't have any lemon juice handy, use a tablespoonful of vinegar instead.

The quantity of tahini can be adapted, either a little more or less, to suit your taste.

For a more authentic Lebanese touch, add a little mint in with the chopped parsley.

Keeping

2 days at most in the fridge.
