Cumin Lime Chickpeas by Nicolette Crowley

Cumin Lime Chickpeas: (makes 6-8 servings)

Ingredients:

2 cans (19 ounce) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/2 red onion

1/2 bunch cilantro

2 cloves garlic

1 lime

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions:

1) Remove the cilantro leaves from the stems and roughly chop. Dice the red onion. Place both in a large bowl

2) Prepare the dressing by squeezing the juice from the lime into a small bowl and adding the olive oil, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Finely mince the garlic and add that as well. Stir everything to combine.

3) Add the drained/rinsed chickpeas and the dressing to the bowl. Stir to combine and serve!

**I found that this got better the longer it marinated! After sitting in the fridge for a few days the flavours were much stronger.
