Chickpeas Salad with colourful bell peppers tossed with some garlic sesame dressing is a very delicious,colourful and flavourful salad. If i could bring out the real flavour of this salad to the blog right now, I would be more than happy. Wonderful flavour emanating from the salad bowl while tossing the salad with the sesame garlic dressing was absolutely great and it was quite difficult for me to control the temptation of grabbing some salad during the preparation process itself. I am ardent lover of Chickpeas / Garbanzo since childhood and no wonder this salad made me happier. For the dressing, I decided to make my own version using white sesame seeds, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. To me, chickpeas and sesame seeds could get along well and uplifts the taste too which proved to be true. So, my dear friends, make this delicious aromatic salad in your kitchen and enjoy summer.
