How to make mashed chickpea salad

cook chickpea to make mashed chickpea salad. Cook it in pressure cooker, Instant pot or slow cooker.

Mash the chickpeas. Chickpea need not be crushed smoothly. It can be coarse with visible chunks.

Combine all the vegetables to make chickpea salad mashed to coarse. Which make it easier for grab and go food.

Combine. Add a bowl of finely chopped onion, tomato, carrot, cucumber, lemon juice, and salt. Combine them well until all the ingredients blend.

Store. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. And it is good to use for a couple of days.

Pro Tips

  • Soak the chickpea for 8 hours if you are using dry chickpeas. Then, cook them until soft.
  • If you use the pressure cooker, cook it on a medium flame for 15 minutes.
  • If you use an Instant Pot, cook it on a manual timer for 15 minutes.
  • And if you are using the slow cooker, soaking is unnecessary. Add chickpea and 2.5 times water with salt. Let it cook for  4 hours until it gets soft when touched.
  • You may also use canned garbanzo beans, otherwise also called chickpeas.

Variations for this mashed chickpea salad:

  • I have added fresh vegetables like onion, tomato, carrot, and cucumber. You may add any vegetables that are available at the moment of making.
  • You may add mustard sauce to enhance with a punch.
  • I have not added Tahini sauce, mayo, or any cheese to make it low-calorie as far as possible. But add if you prefer.
  • Believe me, this Mashed chickpea salad tasted delicious. But you may add cheese or sour cream if your calorie chart permits.
  • You may add Greek yogurt to make it creamy and rich.

    This is a great recipe. I love kikärtor (chickpeas) as we call them here, but I must admit I rarely cook them from dry. Doing them in the Instant Pot is brilliant. Thanks for the tip.

      Thanks Ron, Cooking chickpea in instant pot is the best comparing to regular pressure cooker. Where you have full control in the temperature and the time.
