- Chill the salad in the fridge: As tempting as it will be to assemble and eat this salad ASAP, I highly recommend letting it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) before serving. This is a dish that tastes best on the second day—trust me!

- Play with the consistency: This salad is smooth and creamy, like fish-based tuna salad. However, if you prefer a little more texture and bite, leave some of the chickpeas whole or less smashed.
