Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Line a small baking sheet with a lint-free towel. Place the chickpeas on top and rub them dry with another lint-free towel. Bundle the chickpeas up in the bottom towel and set them aside.

Line the now empty baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the chickpeas onto the baking sheet. Drizzle the chickpeas with the olive oil and sprinkle with half of the salt.
2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt
Place the chickpeas in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Give the pan a shake and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
While the chickpeas are roasting place the tahini, the remaining salt, the garlic, and the lemon juice in a large food processor. Set the food processor to low and stream in the water. Pour the finished dressing into a bowl and chill while you prepare the remainder of the salad.

When the chickpeas are done roast, take them out of the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Add the cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, ground coriander, and a fair amount of fresh ground pepper. Give the chickpeas a toss to ensure they are evenly coated. Set them aside to cool.

Place a watermelon wedge in the center of a pasta coupe or bowl. Spoon a liberal amount of the tahini dressing on top and garnish with a handful of the chickpeas, the tomatoes, dill pickle, pickled turnip, and fresh parsely and dill. Serve immediately with a knife and fork.
