Pulse salad recipe selection - including chickpea salad and kidney bean salad.
This page offers a variety of salads that are made with one or a number of pulses. Pulses include hearty foods such as chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans, broad beans and dried peas.
They are very rich in protein and very low in fat and calories, and therefore they are perfect food for those on a diet. Eat with caution, as they do cause extreme wind!
Pulses in general must be soaked overnight or for at least 12 hours before cooking them, and before they can then be eaten.

They are excellent value for money and a whole packet of chickpeas or kidney beans, for example, will go a long way. Not only this, but pulses are extremely healthy, hearty and filling, providing the body with many nutrients, vitamins and plenty of energy.

Pulses are very underrated, probably due to the hassle of their pre-cooking preparation, however, these days, ready-cooked pulses are available in jars and sold in our local supermarkets.
All you have to do is empty the contents into a saucepan and heat them up. Some of our salads can be eaten warm but the majority are delicious chilled and served cold.
Pulses are in general fairly mild-flavoured and therefore you can add a wonderful array of seasonings and spices to create tantalisingly flavoursome dishes.
Many of our pulse salad recipes contain delicious herbs and spices as ingredients and include coriander, chilli, garlic, cumin, paprika and ginger. Many are also flavoured with lemon or lime juice, vinegar or olive oil.
As pulses are so filling, they are the perfect food to take as a packed lunch or on a picnic. At home our salad recipes can be served as a lunch dish, as a substantial starter, or even as an accompaniment to cold meats or fish. If you are unfamiliar with pulses and are looking for something new to try, you will be amazed at how delicious and tasty these dried beans can really be.
