The last time I made salmon shashlik from Turkmenistan, we were so pleasantly surprised with the results that we had to have a repeat prrformance. Thankfully, that day finally arrived, and to change things up a bit I wanted to include a slightly different twist, namely with a delicious bed of chickpea salad!
