Quick n healthy Beans salad



Ingredients -

1 cup chick peas or black eyed peas - soaked overnight and boiled
1 big onion - chopped finely
1 big tomato - chopped finely
1 green chilly - slit and chopped finely
rock salt, garam masala (a pinch), extra virgin olive oil (few drops), dry mango powder or chat masala (a pinch), finely chopped coriander leaves to garnish.

Method -

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients, and all the olive oil at he end to blend and bring the salad together. remember to use only very few drops of the olive oil, serve chilled. (If you don't have olive oil, you can skip the step)

I am a big beans fan, i love the traditional "sundal" my mom makes. The sundal is so simple and easy and flavorful and the best part is its healthy. This makes a great salad and an evening snack. We all know how nutritious and healthy beans can be. Add whatever veggies you wish to, such as bell peppers,cucumber, boiled potatoes, what ever you have on hand!
