Chickpea Salad
Description
This is an idea more than a recipe - I encourage you to riff on it with whatever you have in your pantry and your fridge but the olive oil, lemon, salt, chickpeas and herbs are essential. It makes a great vegan lunch or a side with dinner.

Instructions
-
Mix the lemon juice and olive oil in a bowl. Add all other ingredients (and any optional additions) and mix well. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed. Let sit for a minimum of 30 minutes for the flavours to blesh, up to two hours at room temperature. You can definitely let it sit longer than two hours (it makes great leftovers) but keep it in the fridge after two hours.
Note
I prefer to serve this at room temperature and I would recommend checking for salt before you serve it as it has a way of soaking up and disappearing the salt you've already added.
