This is a great recipe for a healthy and delicious meal. The scallops are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and the chickpea salad is packed with fiber and nutrients.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the cilantro.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with a more flavorful marinade for the scallops.
