Spicy Chickpea Salad image

This is my own creation, I LOVE chickpeas, but I like them spicy hot. So, before you make this recipe, remember we all have different tastes! This is a VERY adaptable recipe, you can add what you want, adjust the heat level, decrease the salad dressing, you name it, this is a very flexible recipe! I serve this over hot toasted pita bread, or just as a side dish. I've replaced the asparagus with sliced zucchini, little broccoli florets, whatever is in the fridge... Note that preparation time does not include the 1 hour resting time in the fridge.

I thought this salad was okay. The flavors were good, but the chickpeas were a bit too crunchy for my liking. I would probably try making it again with canned chickpeas instead.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

This salad was good, but not great. The dressing was a bit too oily for my taste. I would also recommend using less cayenne pepper. Overall, it's a decent salad, but I wouldn't make it again.
