Roasted Cumin & chickpea salad

I found this recipe in Woman's day mag. I made it last night. It is so good. I used lemon juice instead of lime juice & yellow onions instead of red onions, because that's what we had in the house. It was still really good. This is great for a hot Summer night. I'm trying to find more cool recipes.

Good for you but I bet the chick peas make it feel like it sticks to your ribs a little.

Man approved I bet.
