Cumin Lime Chickpeas

Ingredients

• 2 15 oz. cans chickpeas, garbanzo beans
• 1/2 medium red onion
• 1/2 bunch cilantro
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 medium lime
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

1. Pour both cans of chickpeas into a colander, then rinse them under cool water. Leave them there to drain while you put together the rest of the salad.
2. Pull the cilantro leaves off the stems, then chop the leaves roughly. Dice the red onion, and add both to a large bowl.
3. For the dressing, juice 1 lime into a bowl, then mix in the olive oil, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mince 2 cloves of garlic very finely and stir them in too. Mix until combined, then taste and adjust the salt to suit you.
4. Transfer the drained chickpeas to the bowl with the cilantro and onion, then pour in the dressing. Stir until everything is coated, then serve. For a more pronounced flavor, refrigerate the salad before serving so it has time to sit.
