Pour the remaining chickpeas with the cream, 2 tbsp. of olive oil, add the diced tomato skin, parsley, coriander, chives, salt, and pepper, and mix the salad mixture well.
Pour the juice and seeds from the passion fruit into a bowl and add the tomato seeds and the last 2 tbsp. of olive oil and mix all the ingredients.
