Method

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Combine chickpeas, oil, and the herb blend in a bowl; toss to combine. Place in an even layer on a foil-covered rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the chickpeas are brown and crisp but not burnt, stirring at least once to assure even roasting. Set aside and allow to cool.
While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Combine the oil, vinegar, honey, and spices in a small bowl, whisk to combine. [1]
To make the salad, place spring greens on two salad plates. Top with roasted chickpeas, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and the optional onion and cheese if you desire. Drizzle with the homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing, toss lightly before serving. Enjoy immediately!
