Since a couple of weeks sorrel has been overcrowding our vegetable patch. The warmth and nightly showers really did it a favour so no matter how much I harvest it appears to regrow almost over night. For a sorrel lover like me this is pure heaven since I can literally add it to every single meal of the day – if I wanted to. And I do!

Zingy Chickpea and Sorrel Salad

These days I am adding it to a lot of dishes and today I decided to mix it into my chickpea salad. We grow the red veined kind since the colours are incredible but you can just as well use the green kind.

Zingy Chickpea and Sorrel Salad

Chickpeas are a wonderful base for salads. They provide a nice nutty flavour and go well with any dressing you can think of so here is my take on another chickpea salad but this time with my favourite leafy green of the season.

Zingy and refreshing spring salad with sorrel and chickpeas. Ingredients are listed as: metric ( imperial ).
Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 250 g 1 1/4 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 250 g 9 oz sorrel
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped
  • juice of one lemon about 3 tbsp
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • If you use canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them well. If you cook them fresh follow this instruction.
  • Add all ingredients except the sorrel and the parsley to a bowl. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. You can skip this step if you are in a hurry but letting it marinade helps the flavours to develop. When ready to serve mix in the sorrel and parsley and eat immediately.

Notes

If you do not have any sorrel at home or have no access to it then you can also use arugula. Or you might as well use the humble spinach in this recipe. It will lack the strong sour flavor of the sorrel but you can compensate for it by adding the juice of half a lime to the dressing to recreate this chickpea and sorrel salad.

    Can I use spinach instead of sorrel? I can’t find sorrel.

      You can add whatever you like but the sorrel has a very tangy flavour to it. Add the juice of half a lime to the dressing to replicate the taste a bit. =)

    At this time of year sorrel is really doing its thing.  We ve tried growing it in beds, but our sorrel prefers to grow through the slates in the front garden.  It seems very happy there and is thriving.  Its one of my favourite leaves, full of bitter apple twang, I m happy to see its found a home.

      We are growing red sorrel. It likes very regular watering, but it is growing thick and fast. We had this salad tonight for a dinner party – very popular!
      Thanks.
