Chickpea salad with ventresca
Today we bring you the chickpea salad sent to us by Ana from the blog Recetas para cocinillas as part of our recipe contest. Although we generally associate pulses with stews and winter, pulse salads are useful dishes that we can enjoy throughout the year. With the addition of one of our canned fish products (a gem like ventresca, for example), the dish becomes a thousand times better.
