MARINATED CHICKPEAS
A lovely and refreshing salad or appetizer, better if it's allowed to sit and marinate a few days. You can also pop it in a blender for quick and tasty hummus.

MARINATED GREEK-INSPIRED CHICKPEA SALAD
This salad gets even better the longer it marinates in the refrigerator. While it's completely yummy right away, it tastes best after about 8 hours. I made up this salad after having early spring cravings for crunchy, crisp, refreshing summer food. The tangy vinaigrette and the sharp feta cheese balance perfectly with the hearty chickpeas and crunchy, sweet veggies and make for a really vibrant and satisfying salad. It is delicious alongside pickled baby beets or grilled chicken too. You can also put it in a wrap, or you can use it as a dip--sort of like a Greek salsa.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes and cucumbers. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and firm, and cucumbers that are dark green and crisp.
- If you don't have time to marinate the garbanzo beans overnight, you can quick-marinate them for at least 30 minutes. Just combine the beans, dressing, and herbs in a bowl and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before assembling the salad.
- If you don't have any fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about 1/4 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use of fresh herbs.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
