Betty's Colorful Chickpea Salad Recipe

[typhoidmary34]

Lovely looking salad!

[XpresloX]

can you show me how to make more the fresh salad like that pls ?

Tk!

[bettyskitchen]

@XpresloX Yes, I will do more. In the meantime, look for blackeyed pea salad, black bean salad, and Kentucky Caviar.

--Betty :)

[XpresloX]

@bettyskitchen Thank you very much! I would like you show me how to make the salad look good and taste good :)

[TheEchovoices]

some vinegar would be good too it burns calories,and some sweet onions, chives, or spring onion,on the side to top it up would be nice, maybe without the tomatoes because it can sit in the fridge and get too acidy, and I think chopped up smaller would be a nice idea too, it just looks nicer with the size of the chick peas. No salt, you already have that in the chick peas. Also a little robusto dressing is also very tasty the english cucumbers are best cos no seeds you need to address that ty.

[bettyskitchen]

@TheEchovoices Those are some good ideas! Thanks!

--Betty :)

[wastemytimewithyou]

i think this would be even more amazing with a bit of lemon or lime juice =)

[bettyskitchen]

@wastemytimewithyou Lemon or lime juice would be great in this salad! Thanks for the tip!

--Betty :)

I actually made this chickpea salad this morning so that the flavors could 'marry' in the fridge all day and even prior to 'setting' it is so flavorful and wonderful! After a day in the fridge I am sure it will be mouth watering. I used the cilantro and fresh organic baby dill and the only 'change' I made was to add a small can on sliced olives since we do so love them and the whole olive flavor. To me this would be the perfect hot day afternoon meal with a piece of crusty Italian bread.

[bettyskitchen]

@sharoned07 Thanks for your great comment! I really appreciate it! I like the addition of sliced olives; they go really well with all of the other flavors!

--Betty :)

[sharoned07]

Betty, I cannot wait to try this recipe! I have a question, do you happen to have any recipes at all that use Quinoa? (pronounced Keen Wa) I have searched everywhere for tasty recipes that include this wonderful super grain packed with protein! Thanks again!

[sharoned07]

Also, I know I seen the link somewhere to buy your book but now that I want to order it, I cannot find it. Please help Miss Betty?

[bettyskitchen]

@sharoned07 My cookbooks are available at lulu (dot) com. Just search the keyword: bettyskitchen. Thanks for your interest!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

@sharoned07 Thanks for your nice comment! I don't have any recipe using Quinoa--I need to check that out.

--Betty :)

[sharoned07]

@bettyskitchen Gosh I hope you do since your recipes are pretty much DELICIOUS and healthy!

[meisjeamsterdam]

Dear Betty,

I eat chickpea salades quite often. It is great if I have a late shift at work to take with me for dinner. I have a tip you might like. I also put a little bit of lemon juice on it and sprinkel it with some little feta cubes, very low in fat.

Love your recipes and watch your uploads every day :)

[bettyskitchen]

@meisjeamsterdam Thanks for your lovely comment! Love your tip about the lemon juice and feta cheese!

--Betty :)

[swara1996]

What kind of olive oil is Betty using?I dont understand..Can someone help me with that?Thanks

[bettyskitchen]

@swara1996 I typically use extra virgin olive oil; for salads, I sometimes choose the lighter-tasting variety. I usually get the store brand.

--Betty :)

[anesthesiac]

Your accent is so classy. I love it :)

[healthyvegan]

nice recipe - I love your use of colors! I posted a video for a vegan dish I make with chickpeas, eggplant and spanich flavors. I love chickpeas!

[shydog555]

Looks good, I am gonna try this recipe tommorow too :) thanks!

[5f00tnothing]

Great recipe. I'll definitely be trying it soon. :)

Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[magginine]

i make this salad all the time and just came up with it on my own years ago! i didn't know there was a recipe for it out there. i use italian parsley instead of cilantro sometimes and sometimes i add mashed garlic to make it more zippy

[bettyskitchen]

The Italian parsley and mashed garlic sounds good, too! Thanks for your tips!

--Betty :)

[Mystress85]

[bettyskitchen]

Please do a search in bettyskitchen for pot roast. There is a very version that is easy and that I think you will enjoy!

--Betty :)

[samhopem]

Thanks for your wonderful feedback! I hope you enjoy my recipes!

--Betty :)

[JoeHell67]

Hi,

look at those delicous colors of your salad!

You don't add any vinegar to this salad? I'm thinking of a splash of mild red wine vinegar or apple cidre vinegar?

HQ Oive oil is good for you, it won't hurt your heart, just be econimical with it if you watch calories....

Chickpea Salad Betty Style... irresistible

ingredients are on my shopping list for tomorrow!

Thank you for making!

Joe from Germany

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the compliment on the salad! Yes, you can add some vinegar--red wine or apple cider or balsamic. Feel free to switch up the ingredients to your taste! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[atifgmu]

Thanks for all the wonderful recipes.. :) Love the salad. You are doing a great job. Keep em comming... :)

[bettyskitchen]

I am so glad that you enjoy my recipes! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[Thetis101]

I don't like bell peppers, cucumbers, or tomatoes but I would still try this salad because it looks so delicious! Awesome recipe.

[bettyskitchen]

You could keep the chickpeas, and maybe add chopped celery and red onion (or some other colorful and tasty combination of vegetables), and don't forget the cilantro (or your favorite herb)!

--Betty :)

[evegpt]

Don't you just hate the wait for the Summer fresh tomatoes? Those cold storage things are not very good but what can you do? Sam's does carry some pretty good ones though to tide us over. This looks very good Betty, thanks.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes, I do hate waiting for the summer vegetables, tomatoes in particular. I grew one cherry tomato plant in my herb garden this past summer, and produced *hundreds* of fresh cherry tomatoes! I'll be doing that again! Thanks for the compliment on the recipe!

--Betty :)

[sweetcherrycrumble]

colourful, life like and so exciting Betty; will help me to get through this dark dull cold snowy lousy dead January in England (i think i've made my point well lol!)

This strikes me as being quite Brazilian or Latin American

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, it's like that here, too! Foods do brighten these dreary days, though--and this one is low calorie, so you can have quite a lot without feeling guilty!

Warm wishes,

--Betty :)

[sweetcherrycrumble]

Fantastic, when the winter is finally over, i can look forward to wearing my swimsuit! Nah, I'm not really sensitive to obesity issues

[PointingTheWeigh]

Salads are so refreshing...LOVELY!

This is a LOVELY recipe and Chickpeas are SOOO delicous!!

Thankyou!

Love and hugs to you both xx

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, it is a great salad; I think you will enjoy it, Linda!

Love and hugs to you!

--Betty :)

[DLP1962]

that really does look good..... I like how thorough you are when explaining on what you are doing... good job.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your nice comment! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[ideagirlconsulting]

mmm peppers with ranch salad dressing comes to mind...

[bettyskitchen]

Ranch salad would be good with the vegetables--just leave out the olive oil. Thanks for the tip!

--Betty :)

[mesopotamianbeauty]

It's my first time seeing a cilantro and chick peas combo. Will definitely give it a try.

[bettyskitchen]

That's great! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad this appeals to you! I hope you appetite is better. Thanks for the lovely comment!

--Betty  :)

[getsbaked]

dam betty you work that kitchen like no other

now i got the munchies, everytime i go into the kitchen i think about you, working that spoon......mmmm delicious

[bettyskitchen]

Well, if you try this salad, at least it's something healthy to munch on! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[getsbaked]

that's for sure! Not only is this delicious but it's healthy at the same time. You're the best Betty!

[craig9843]

I love chickpeas....s

[daisyflower22]

Hi Betty

How are you and your famly? i hope you are all well! i was just wondering about the oil i use, can i use just regular olive oil?

Lucy

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Lucy! It's great to hear from you! Yes, you definitely may use regular olive oil!

The best to you and your family!

--Betty :)

[ilikethewok]

Looks really scrumptious!! Thx.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your nice comment! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[Zachman1124]

I like the new haircut, it's very nice!

Besides, I think I gained more than " a few pounds " haha. I am on a diet and this looks delicious

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your comment! This dish is *great* for dieting!

--Betty :)

[rahulcoolio14]

1/4 cup is 4 tablespoons maybe thats why you thought it was a bit too much oil i tried this recipe though, it was amazing!!! love your vids betty

[bettyskitchen]

I got my tablespoons mixed up with ounces! Thanks for noticing; I changed the write-up.  Thanks so much for the help, and for the compliment on the recipe!

--Betty :)

[NYNYpatriot77]

Hi Betty, I can't wait to try this, it looks great. I'm going to just add a dash of balsamic vinigar as we are vinigar nuts. But other than that I am going to stay with your exact recipe as they are always spot on. I'll tell you how the vinigar works out.

[bettyskitchen]

A couple of other people have suggested balsamic vinegar. I think that will be a great addition! I hope you enjoy the salad!

--Betty :)

[kcthecook1]

Very healthy im gonna make this also gonna add a nice red onion yumm heathy is right.

[bettyskitchen]

The red onion sounds like a perfect addition! Thanks for a great tip!

--Betty :)

[calady11]

I think I'll make this for lunch. Great recipe, Betty!

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you enjoyed your lunch! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty  :)

[mizniss]

Delish as usual Betty, I love how simple your dishes are and that you consider your viewers needs for your vids - you're such a gem!!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! I'm trying to figure out what my viewers want--some say diet, some say casseroles, some say sweets...I will try to touch on a little bit for everyone!

--Betty :)

[richardpeej]

Very colourful Betty looks tasty :-) Richard

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Richard. I value your opinion. Have a nice evening/night!

--Betty :)

[Barginjunkie69]

great video !!! looks great

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment!

--Betty :)

[harsiese]

I adore various salads and I've been wanting a different way, besides hummus, to use chick peas... This is a fantastic idea! Thanks, Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad you like the idea! I can really recommend this salad. My husband and I ate it and then made another one!

--Betty :)

[nubianqueen04]

5 stars!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks so much! I appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[themandigirl]

I have a can of garbanzo beans int he pantry right now. I've wondered what to make with it...now I know! Looks very delish & healthy!

Cindi

[bettyskitchen]

I personally don't care for garbanzo beans alone, but, in a salad like this, they're wonderful! I hope you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for the lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[missannieapple3]

yay england!!! [english cucumber]

[bettyskitchen]

I'm glad I could find one, here in Kentucky!

--Betty :)

[Juicyjulz100]

would this qualify as a raw food diet?? it looks so delicious!

[bettyskitchen]

It is assembled as a raw food dish. Technically, the chickpeas are cooked before they are canned.

--Betty :)

[junklemon]

i don't think so, because the beans are cooked.

[samgower]

Yummy! I like how you show how to present food as well. You're very easy to follow and I think you deserve to be a partner on youtube :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comment! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[JimboJitsu]

Nicely done, thanks for sharing!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Jimbo! I always appreciate your comments!

--Betty :)

[jasongiddensviper478]

Looks and sounds great. It reminds me of our favorite summer dish here in Georgia ("our" as in the wife and kids) Cucumber salad,grilled steak,sea salt crusted baked potatoes,fesh grilled corn on the cob.MMMMMMmmmm Im hungry now!

Ps. Sorry I got a little off track I was just going to say I love your cooking! LOL!

[bettyskitchen]

Oh, you whole meal sounds wonderful! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[thornekatt]

I was thinking the same thing...maybe a little balsamic vinegar or lemon. An avocado would give a great richness, but with trying to keep with the lower fat content, I can see why Betty would omit that ingredient.

[bettyskitchen]

The balsamic vinegar would be good also! I truly was trying to keep the fat down, but everyone should adjust the recipe to their own taste and needs. Thanks for your great comment!

--Betty :)

[DivaJacobs313]

thanks for sharing will try....

[bettyskitchen]

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

--Betty  :)

[aliciaqin1]

that looks yummy. just a suggestion, but i think some chopped avocado and a spritz of lemon would make the salad even better!

[bettyskitchen]

The avocado and lemon would be a great addition! Thanks for a great tip!

--Betty :)
