CHICKPEAS SALAD WITH THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING

RECIPE FOR BOTH- a LOW FAT VERSION OF THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING WITHOUT EGGS

Salads are always a super hit at my place. When i soaked channa for making Channa pulao i felt it was little extra and kept a 1/2 cup of soaked chickpeas aside for making salad. Suddenly i thought of making the salad with a dressing and i adopted this Thousand island dressing from Tarla dalal’s cook book. Though we get readymade Thousand island dressing in super markets, most of them contains eggs.
