Stage 1 - 5 min.

Thoroughly drain 500 g tinned (canned) chickpeas.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Dry on a cloth.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Prepare 500 g cauliflower and slice thinly (if you have one, a mandolin is ideal for this).

Put the chickpeas and cauliflower in a salad bowl. Add 2 shallots finely chopped and a little chopped parsley.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Prepare the dressing by mixing 300 g Greek yoghurt, 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste) and 4 tablespoons 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.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
