This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can easily make with them.
