You can use any lettuce of your choice, i used ice berg lettuce, which was available in my pantry, just wash the lettuce and drain the water or pat dry them completely. I used black chick peas as they are more nutritious and healthy than the regular chick peas. I used the dried variety, where it was soaked overnight and then boiled them in a pressure cooker with some water. In this way the peas can be prepared ahead of time. For the dressing, just add the sour cream in a bowl, add salt, pepper and lemon juice, combine them and keep aside. I used light sour cream, as they are low in fat. Next in a salad bowl, add the black chickpeas, lettuce, peanuts, sunflower seeds, mung beans, pour the dressing, combine well. The nuts give nice crunchiness to the salad, whereas the mung beans and chick peas tastes yum with the dressing. Qucik and healthy salad ready to serve.
