Cholla bud, chile, and chickpea salad

Tastes like desert. Cholla buds taste similar to artichokes - but really, if you don't have them, probably just makes some other salad instead.

1 cup cholla buds, cooked (could be fresh I guess - I used dry), split lengthwise
1 can drained and rinsed chickpeas/garbanzo beans (or equivalent freshly cooked, would probably be even better)
6 Hatch chiles, roasted, seeded, chopped
1/4 cup agua chiltepin (or cider vinegar and hot sauce)
splash of sesame oil
splash of peanut or olive oil
2 T salted lemon liquid
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Mix all in a bowl. Let stand for 20 minutes to blend flavours. Check seasoning before serving.

Would probably be even better with spring onions/green onions.
