For the Dressing
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon agave (or maple syrup)
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder optional

For the Salad
- 3 cups chickpeas drained and rinsed if canned
- ½ whole cucumber thinly sliced
- 2–3 whole peaches pits removed and diced
- 1 whole watermelon radish cut in half and thinly sliced

Instructions
Preparation
- Add the olive oil, lime juice, agave, chipotle powder, salt, and black pepper to a small jar with a lid. Seal well, then shake vigorously, until the oil has emulsified. Set aside.

- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if necessary. Serve immediately, or place in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to chill before serving.
Notes
Watermelon radishes are bright and colorful, but any standard radish will work too! For small red radishes, use 3-4 instead.
