Why This Recipe Works
Canned chickpeas are an ideal ingredient for a salad because they can absorb flavors easily and provide texture. After heating in the microwave, the chickpeas become soft and tender, which helps them quickly sop up the tangy vinaigrette. A flavorful pairing of vegetal red onion, sweet oranges, and smoky chipotle chiles transforms bland canned chickpeas into a bright and savory salad.
