Notes
To Use Raw Chickpeas: Add 1 1/2 cups of dry chickpeas to a large bowl, cover with room temperature water, and soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. Once soaked, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the soaked chickpeas, and cook them for 40 minutes to 1 hour until tender. Once cooked, strain and rinse the chickpeas and add them to the salad as per step #2.
To Use Green Onion: Swap the red onion for 2 green onions, thinly sliced.
To Use Garlic Powder: Swap the garlic clove for 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
