Shour Nakhod ( Chickpea in mint sauce) ~ Afghanistan Recipes

September 2, 2014 By

Salad recipes

Salads Our My all time fav , I can skip a meal for a bowl of salad . So for my afghani meal  platter  I also made this chickpea salad  in int0 mint sauce. This is similar to middle eastern potato salad but chick pea is added to this salad.  Shour literally means salty but don’t worry this salad is not salty but tangy. The mint dressing makes the salad more refreshing  , this salad can be enjoyed both  chilled or at room temperature. Traditionally the dressing for Shour Nakhod is added only while serving , the dressing is drizzled on the chickpea and the potato is added in the end . This salad  goes well with a meal and we enjoyed it a lot. Lets move on to the recipe ..
