How to Make Sweet Chickpea Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, gently mash 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole chickpeas for texture.
  2. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang or a pinch of sugar for extra sweetness.
  5. For best flavor, let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
