Notes
I prefer to use red bell pepper with this chickpea salad, but you can use any color including green or a combination of colors. The taste will vary slightly depending on which color you choose so choose flavors that you like! If you don't have a pre-made Italian seasoning spice mix, use a pinch of each of these dried spices: Oregano Basil Marjoram Thyme Rosemary I use California-produced olive oil from Cobram Estate in this and all my recipes calling for olive oil.

I like to make it in a mason jar – I just add a can of chickpeas (drained) to the jar, add in the rest of the ingredients, slap on a lid and shake. The fridge does the rest of the work.
After the chickpea salad has chilled for about 8 hours, it's ready to be eaten. I like to make it before I go to bed so I can have it for breakfast and lunch the next day.
