Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

This salad came to my mind right as I was falling asleep.

Does your brain ever do crazy stuff like that? My best ideas seem to come when I’m about to doze off and don’t have a notebook or pen to write things down, so I just make a pact with my brain to remember. And the next day we both do our best to recall what we were thinking.

Thankfully, this one made it through the pipeline! Three cheers for my old lady brain still working!

Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

I’ve made many a Bean salad before, but this one is special. This is the answer to the question, “What’s super cozy, flavorful and perfect for any BBQ Party?” It’s a great addition to any summer get together!

This Pakistani/Italian flavor pairing came to mind, and the recipe is adapted from my all-time favorite Bean Salad. One super easy thing you can prep ahead is beans. I love beans because you can make them so many different ways and they’re packed with protein, slow-digesting carbohydrates and fiber. Their nutritional profile makes them ideal for prepping before a workout and recovering after a workout. If you’re trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, they’re great for that too since they make you feel full longer.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy beans during the warmer months is with my Bean Salad. It’s super easy to make and it tastes really yummy too! This recipe is simple, requiring just 10 minutes to prepare! You can eat it all on its own (what I normally do) or dress it up by adding some more chopped veggies to it. It’s also great added to some greens either in a wrap or in a salad.

Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

The dressing is SO easy (and dreamy).

Italian herbs are blended with vinegar . Add olive oil water to thin and ‘voila!’ You have a super yummy, tangy Italian dressing ready to coat those gorgeous bean salad. Look at that salad goodness.

I hope you all LOVE this Bean salad! It’s:
- Hearty
- Flavorful
- Vegetable-packed
- Fiber- & Protein-rich
- Tangy + Crunchy
- Super healthy & Delicious
This would make the perfect side dish for BBQ Party, or any get together, really. It yields four entrée-sized portions or 8 sides, so multiply as needed. Although it’s delicious on its own, it would pair extremely well with my Grilled Lamb Chops, and my Grilled Italian Chicken.

Bismillah, let’s get started the recipe!!

Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat) Recipe

Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

I think it’s time that I take a quick break from the highly caloric Iftar snacks I’ve been posting about recently, and share a favorite healthy recipe. This Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat) is a traditional Pakistani Iftar Staple. We love munching on it throughout the year, but it’s especially nice in the summer after a long day of fasting. Known as a salad in the West and a savory snack or “Chaat” in the East. This low-fat dish has traveled a long way from Pakistan to make its way onto Iftar tables in South Asia and lunch/dinner tables across the rest of the world.

Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat)

The acidic and tart flavors of tamarind chutney, the sweetness of the apricot chutney and the cooling taste of mint chutney balances the palette out immaculately. A well made Spicy Chickpea Salad (or Chana Chaat) will enable you to taste all these flavors independently with each spoonful.

Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat) with Tamarind and Apricot Chutney

Playing around with food textures is also an important part of cooking, and creating this dish gives you that freedom with the crunchy onions, juicy tomatoes and soft chickpeas. Explore the art of South Asian cooking with this simple, low fat yet palette-exciting recipe.

Garbanzo Beans Chaat Recipe
Garbanzo Beans Chaat ( Clean Eating Version)

Garbanzo Beans or Chickpeas are a nutrient-rich food, providing high amounts of protein, fiber, iron, potassium, manganese, copper, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B-6 and thiamine, making them a healthy addition to any diet.

They may also help you lose weight, especially if you eat them instead of higher-fat sources of protein like beef, or chicken. They are high in dietary fibre which means it’s harder for the body to digest them, in turn making their glyceminc index low.

Garbanzo Beans Chaat (Black chickpeas) is one of Pakistani’s favorite food made with chickpeas and other spices. Everyone will like it and ask for more when you serve.
