Salt highlights the sweetness of tomatoes and makes them stand out among the fresh herbs and lime juice. It also draws out their natural juice. This juice adds a delightful tanginess to the dressing.
The pistachios add a welcomed crunch to this salad. Plus, they add a notable amount of protein, fiber, potassium, and iron, as well as several other nutrients.

Chop the pistachios into small pieces. Do not chop them too fine or they will end up powdery, and lose their crunchy texture.
Next, add the dressing ingredients, including the tomato juice, to a bowl large enough to hold the salad. There's no need to make the dressing in a separate container. This method works perfectly well for this recipe, and there's less to wash up!
Roast the chickpeas for even more texture. Rub them between layers of a kitchen or paper towel to remove the skins (optional). Toss in olive oil. Roast at 400ºF for 15 minutes. Broil for an additional 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
