In a bowl combine your chickpeas and spices.

Next, Place your saucepan on a medium high heat (electric hub 4) with a splash of olive oil. Sauté your green onions first, then add in the seasoned chickpeas. Toss in your fresh cilantro and thyme and let this cook for around 7m minutes (give or take). Let this cool down before adding to your fresh leaves or they will wither (and thats not nice is it?).

I started with some curly blend lettuce and cucumber with fresh parsley and used cracked bulgur because I had some in the fridge but Quinoa tastes really good with this as well. Add tomatoes, corn, beans, basically whatever you like.

3

Once you have mixed your salad, its time to add that beautiful cilantro lime sauce to bring it all together.
