Step by step process

Preparation

1
Drain the chickpeas through a sieve, rinse thoroughly under cold water, and let them drain well so no excess liquid remains in the salad.
TIP:
Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel after rinsing, or let them dry briefly on a colander so that no water remains in the salad and the dressing emulsifies better.
2
Peel and finely chop the red onion. clean the bell pepper, remove the seeds, and dice it. slice the cucumber into half-moons or dice it. roughly chop the parsley.
3
Place the drained chickpeas, chopped onion, bell pepper, cucumber, and chopped parsley in a large bowl. Toss briefly to combine.

Cooking

4
This recipe requires no cooking. Simply prepare the dressing and mix everything carefully in the bowl.

Serving

5
Prepare the dressing: squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl (add finely grated zest to taste). Add olive oil, Dijon mustard, and crushed garlic. If needed, stir in maple syrup, season with salt and pepper, then whisk into an emulsion.
TIP:
When grating, use only the thin yellow layer of zest. The white part is bitter and will spoil the dressing's flavor. Before using it, gently wipe it off to leave only the fresh lemon aroma.
6
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and let rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve as a light main course or as a side dish.

More tips:

If using lemon zest, choose an unwaxed fruit and grate only the yellow part - the white part (albedo) is bitter.

For a heartier salad, add diced avocado and fold it in just before serving.
