A vibrant and flavorful salad that combines chickpeas, fresh vegetables, and a zesty dressing for a delightful dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ground cumin, black pepper, salt, and the juice of one lime to create the dressing.
Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño to control the spiciness.
Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to enhance the flavors.
Garnish with additional cilantro leaves for a fresh presentation.
