Black ChickPea, Avocado and Bell Pepper Salad

(From Banu's Cookbook)

Ingredients:

1 Cup of Kala Channa (Black Chick Eyed Pea) - Soaked overnight and then pressure cooked.
1 Avocado Chopped
1 Red Bell Pepper Chopped
1/2 Red Onion Chopped
1/2 Cup of Cucumber Peeled and Chopped
Cilantro for Garnishing

Salad Dressing:
2 tsp of Lemon Juice
2 Tsp of Olive Oil
1/4 tsp of Ginger grated finely
Salt to taste

Method:
1. Mix the Cooked Kala Channa (I drain out any excess water) along with the chopped Avocado, bell pepper, onion, cucumber and cilantro.
2. Add all of the salad dressing ingredients to this mix and toss well. You can always increase the lemon juice if you prefer more tangy.
3. Kala Channa salad is ready to be eat.

Notes:
1. I prefer to mix warm Kala Channa and not cold as Kala Channa does not taste that great when it is cold.
2. You can also add Tomatoes and other Vegetables to this Salad.
