A refreshing and flavorful salad combining chickpeas, cucumbers, and a zesty dressing, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and chopped dill in a small bowl.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Dice the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and celery into bite-sized pieces.
Keep the vegetable pieces uniform in size for even mixing.
Combine the chopped vegetables and drained chickpeas in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the chickpeas are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Toss the salad just before serving to keep it fresh.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling enhances the flavors and makes the salad more refreshing.
Serve the salad in individual bowls and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
Add a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper for extra flavor.
