Start by rinsing and draining the chickpeas well. Place them in a large salad bowl as the base for your fresh chickpea salad.
Next, add the halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber to the bowl, giving your salad a crisp and colorful mix.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley, then add them to the bowl for an aromatic and fresh flavor boost.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, cumin powder, salt, and pepper to create the perfect dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything gently to combine all the flavors evenly.
Let the salad sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the fresh chickpea salad chilled or at room temperature as a healthy, vibrant side or light meal.
