Equipment
- small food processor for dressing optional
Ingredients
- 30 ounces canned chickpeas, drained, well rinsed, and dried
- 1/4 medium red onion, peeled and sliced into thin slivers
- 1 bell pepper, diced , I like to use red, orange, and yellow peppers so I use some of each.

- 1/2 cup green and black olives, sliced

dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil, I use extra virgin
- 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp mustard
- 1/2 tsp honey
Instructions
- Make sure your garbanzo beans are drained, well rinsed, and dried on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Add all the salad ingredients to a large bowl.*
- Make the dressing in a small food processor or with a whisk. Whisk everything together vigorously. Taste it and adjust the ingredients as you like.
- Toss the salad with the dressing and add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Give the salad a fresh toss before serving.
Notes
*If you are making the salad more than 30 minutes ahead of serving, do not add the tomatoes until just before serving.
