Chickpea Tomato Olive Salad

This is my husband's recipe. A wholesome, easy salad with protein from the chickpeas and a variety of vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. Very tasty!

Ingredients:

1 can (19 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup sliced green olives
3 tbsps olive oil
3 tbsps apple cider vinegar
1 tsp picante hot sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chopped parsley
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Combine chickpeas, tomatoes & olives in a medium sized bowl.
2. Add remaining ingredients and toss lightly. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavours to meld.
