Instructions
- In the bottom of a large serving bowl, whisk together two tablespoons of olive oil along with the lemon juice and zest, red wine vinegar, pressed garlic, honey, Ras el Hanout, and salt.
- Heat the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add half of the chickpeas and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned and crispy. Transfer the fried chickpeas to the serving bowl. Repeat with the remaining half of the chickpeas.
- Add the sliced shallot to the hot pan and fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened and slightly translucent. Transfer to the serving bowl along with the pistachio, almonds, raisins, and dates.
- Toss well, garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes
- *Use Agave to make this recipe vegan.
- Store the Moroccan Chickpea Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay fresh for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture of the chickpeas and vegetables.
- If you need to reheat it, gently warm it in a skillet over low heat, just enough to take the chill off, as overheating can make the vegetables mushy and the nuts soggy.
