Potatoes- Any type of potato that holds its shape well after boiling works here. While I have just added boiled potatoes, you can grill or toast them slightly if you don’t mind adding few drops of oil. Roasted potatoes will be very delicious in this salad.
Chickpeas– Here I have used raw chickpeas that I soaked, boiled and drained. You can easily use canned chickpeas in this recipe. Just make sure to drain and rinse thoroughly. For some added crunch you can also add roasted chickpeas.
