Simple (and inexpensive) ingredients get combined with a delectable tahini dressing and topped with crunchy baked chickpeas.

The chickpeas take a few minutes to make but require almost no effort. You just toss them with spices, spread on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for about 15 minutes.

These spicy beans get crunchy and give the salad great texture.
