{Recipe} Marinated Chickpea Salad

This is a recipe I've been making every week. It keeps really well in the fridge and keeps getting better as the flavors have time to meld together. It's great on its own or in a green salad or bowl.

 Ingredients:

2 cans of chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 small red onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced

juice of half of a lemon

 Seasonings:

Balsamic Vinegar

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

Italian Seasoning

Crushed Red Pepper

Salt & Pepper

 To make:

• Rinse and drain chickpeas.

Add all salad ingredients into a bowl

•  Squeeze fresh lemon into bowl.
• Add balsamic vinegar (start with 2-3 TBS).
• Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning (about 1 tsp each).
• Add pinch of crushed red pepper.  
• Stir to combine. 
• Season with salt & pepper to taste. Adjust any seasonings, adding more balsamic vinegar or lemon juice as needed.

• Can be eaten immediately or refrigerated until ready to serve.
• Store in airtight container in the fridge.

It's even better the next day!
