This salad is fantastic in a toasted pita! I tossed in some marinated tofu (feta-like)and cuke and left out the pepper and olives (I was out) but plan to put them in next time I make which WILL be soon! I chopped the chick peas in half because my hubby doesn't like them (a bit of a work) and he loved it too! He likes his in a whole wheat tortilla. Soo good! I'm drooling just thinking about it! I read somewhere that chick peas wil harden if you get something acidic on them like vinegar or lemon juice but they seem to need it. Oh yeah! I put a dash of cinnamon in too. I'm gonna need to take some to my next family get-together!
