Chickpeas are low in fat and most of this is polyunsaturated.  This delicious salad provides rich nutrients and is especially good when breaking the fast after a long day of fasting during the month of Ramadan.

Diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, cilantro and mint

1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp black salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 green mango powder (optional)
