Since I wanted to bring in a hint of sweetness to the salad, I used pomegranate. The combination of cooked chickpea, raw onions and tomato, sweet pomegranate, the hint of tanginess from the lemon and the lovely flavour of the chat masala makes this salad very delicious. Be it summer or rainy season, these salads are all time favourites. Have a bowl of a soup and a bowl of salad and you are good to go during the meal time. You can vary the vegetables used. Add carrots and cucumber and it gives a different taste. Substitute the pomegranate with pear or apples to give a completely different taste to this salad . Instead of the chat masala you can add the middle eating spice powder. The variations are numerous.I loved having a bowl of this chickpea pomegranate salad. Try this out, you will love too
