I often turn to this delightful salad when i have leftover chick peas and a basket of fruits in the refrigerator. The chick peas have a wealth of nutrients like energy, protein, calcium and iron while the orange segments abound in vitamin c which helps to enhance our resistance to diseases. Feel free to replace orange and pomegranate with fruits that are handy or fruits you love the most, taking care to avoid ones like mangoes, bananas etc. Serve this salad with a light main course at lunch time and watch your loved one's relish it.
