Spiced Chickpeas with Fresh Salad

• 1 cup of cucumbers, diced

• 1/2 cup of tomatoes, diced

• 1 green onion, diced

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

• 2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1/3 cup of radishes, thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon of cardamom

• 1 teaspoon of allspice

• 1 teaspoon of cumin

• 1 cup of cooked chickpeas

• 1 tablespoon of avocado oil

Mix together the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, parsley, cilantro and radishes in a medium size bowl. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss lightly and set aside.

Mix cardamom, allspice and cumin with salt and pepper and place in a bowl. Add the chickpeas to the spice mixture to coat. Heat the avocado oil in a pan over medium heat then add the chickpeas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes gently shaking the pan so they cook evenly and don’t stick.

Divide the salad among the plates and spoon the warm spiced chickpeas on top.
