Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of chickpeas do I use for this recipe?

We used canned chickpeas since they are quick and easy to use for recipes like these. If you prefer fresh chickpeas you can cook dried chickpeas for this recipe. After cooking, let them cool before adding to the salsa.

I don’t like scallions, what else would you recommend?

In place of the scallions you could use a little sweet onion or red onion. Be sure not to use too much as they have a strong taste that will mask the flavors of the other ingredients.

I don’t have any vinegar on hand, what can I use instead?

Try lemon juice or lime juice if you don’t have any vinegar. The acid from these juices will work the same as the vinegar would.
