Meanwhile, juice the lemons into a large bowl, and add the tahini, oil, cumin, coriander, sea salt, cayenne, and a few cracks of fresh pepper. Whisk everything together to combine.
Into the bowl, add the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, and fresh herbs and gently toss everything to combine.
