Chickpea Celery Salad

Has it ever happened to you that sometimes salad dressings turn out bland or you just can't get a particular seasoning right? One trick I learned at the event "Saborea Tu Verano" by Walmart was to make the dressing using a Knorr bouillon cube as a base. I loved it, it's simple, easy to keep at hand and it gives the chickpea salad a delicious flavor each time.

Here are some photos from the event I attended at the Walmart in Pearland, one of Houston suburbs. If you ever see demonstrations at the supermarket it's worth approaching, who knows what trick you may learn!

I made this chickpea salad inspired in the black beans recipe they prepared at the event. And I used things I had at home. Enjoy the recipe video.
