Chickpea salad, sometimes called hummus salad (Arabic: سلطة حمص), using the Arabic word for 'chickpea', is a salad in Arab cuisine. It consists of whole cooked chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, salt, olive oil, and cumin.[1][2]
Chickpea salad has been eaten in the Levant since at least the time of the Amorite kings, with Zimri-Lim being known in particular for lavish banquets at which the dish was one of the delicacies.[3]
Variants may include coriander, sweet paprika, turmeric, pepper, chopped mint, chopped onions, or parsley.
Chickpea salad is eaten by vegans worldwide.[4]
