  • 2 T chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 T chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 2 T red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon-style mustard

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, herbs, and spices. Blend in the chickpeas, tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions, stirring so that the salad is evenly covered with dressing.
