Bright, golden, and packed with texture, this grain salad is the kind of bowl that genuinely earns its place at the center of the table. Fluffy millet forms the base, tossed with crisp roasted chickpeas, cool cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and a generous handful of fresh parsley and mint. The dressing is where everything comes alive — a punchy blend of lemon juice, freshly grated ginger, and turmeric that coats every grain and vegetable in warm, citrusy flavor. Pumpkin seeds add a satisfying crunch that makes each bite feel complete without relying on any tree nuts whatsoever. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from hazelnuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — the recipe just works as written. It's equally good served right away while the chickpeas are still crisp, or packed up for lunch the next day when the flavors have had time to meld.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the drained chickpeas thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels — they should feel dry to the touch. Spread them on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and toss with ½ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp black pepper, and ¼ tsp salt until evenly coated.
Roast the chickpeas on the center rack for 25–30 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through, until they are deep golden and crisp on the outside.
