In a small bowl, mix coriander, cumin, red pepper flakes, sumac, minced garlic, and salt. Lay out the halved tomatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Let sit while preparing the chickpeas.
To prepare chickpeas, thinly slice red onion and roughly chop fresh herbs. Add to a small bowl and toss with chickpeas and vinegar. Add olive oil and season with fresh ground pepper. Stir and taste. Add more salt, pepper, and/or olive oil, if desired.
When ready to enjoy, first serve a scoop of chickpeas and then top with tomatoes. Can be eaten as a side salad, on top of toasted bread, or with romaine lettuce leaves.
Substitution: 1-2 tsp lemon juice can be used in place of sumac.
