Chili crisp chickpea salad

This chickpea and chili crisp salad is full of surprises. I enjoy it with falafels on the side, and homemade whipped hummus. The chili crisp is unexpected next to the mint and parsley, nor is it often paired with chickpeas, but that’s what I love about it – it’s giving new life to a pantry staple.

  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp, or more to taste

  • handful chopped mint
  • handful chopped parsley
  • 2 (15.5-ounces / 440g) cans chickpeas, drained
  • salt and pepper

Tips and Variations
The chili crisp you use will really affect the flavour of this salad, so use one that you love. Every brand of chili crisp will be a bit different so try a few to find one that suits your palate. Some are mild and more savory, others have tingly Sichuan peppercorns.  
White beans like cannellini or butter beans would work here too!
