Ingredients
  • For the Salad
  • 1 cup cooked wild rice
  • 120 grams garbanzo beans (from a can, drained)
  • 120 grams cranberry beans (cooked - I cooked them in a pressure cooker and gave one whistle. They turned out perfect)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 3 green chilies (add more or add less according to how hot you like it)
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • handful of blackberries
  • Bhelpuri Ingredients
  • ½ cup deep fried sev
  • ½ cup puffed rice
  • ¼ cup papdi
  • handful of roasted peanuts
  • For the Tahini Dressing
  • 6 tbsps tahini (white)
  • juice from half a lemon
  • juice of half an orange
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • water to thin out the dressing
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients for the salad, except the blackberries, the bhelpuri ingredients and the chopped cilantro. Refrigerate for around 30 minutes.
  2. Whisk all ingredients for the dressing together. Add water only if needed to thin out the dressing and one tablespoon at a time.
  3. Spoon out in individual bowls and top with blackberries and the chopped cilantro. Sprinkle the dressing generously.
Notes
You can totally leave out the bhelpuri ingredients if you want to. The salad will still be gorgeously delicious! If you do use them add them only before serving otherwise they will become soggy.
