How to Make Fresh Crispy Chili Lime Chickpea Salad
  1. If using dried chickpeas, soak overnight, then roast until crispy for about 30 minutes at 400°F. For canned chickpeas, drain and dry them thoroughly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, and chili powder. Add apple cider vinegar if desired.
  3. Dice the bell pepper, cucumber, and half a red onion into bite-sized pieces. Chop the fresh parsley or basil.
  4. In a large bowl, gently toss together the chickpeas, chopped veggies, and dressing.
  5. Serve immediately for the best crunch, or keep components separate until serving.
