This yummy, easy salad is a cross between a vegetarian ‘chicken’ salad, and a Western relation of the North Indian street food chana chaat, that combines chickpeas with yogurt and spices among other things....

¼ cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
2 (16 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
½ cup chopped celery
¼ cup raisins
salt and pepper to taste
