Chickpea Salad Olivier

⚽ World Cup 2018 Game 1 – Russia vs. Saudi Arabia

Salad olivier is the Russian version of the potato salad. In this interpretation, we substitute the potato for chickpeas, which is an important protein in Saudi Arabian diet. It results in a low-carb, high-protein version that doesn’t compromise the texture and the taste of the original dish. A perfect sidedish for picnics, potlucks and futbol/soccer viewing parties.
