Chickpea Salad

This is a really great little salad that goes with just about anything.  The Chickpeas in this salad give it a nice contrasting texture to the crispness of the other celery, pepper and onion and a creaminess to the tartness of the tomato.  I hope you try this salad and enjoy it as much as I do.

1 can of Chickpeas, rinsed
1 small Onion, chopped
1 small Green Bell Pepper, chopped
3 ribs of Celery, cleaned of strings and chopped
1 medium Tomato, chopped
4 ounces of crumbled Blue Cheese
3 tablespoons of Ranch Dressing
3 tablespoons of Rice Wine Vinegar
salt
black pepper


Combine Chickpeas, Onion, Green Bell Pepper, Celery, Tomato, and Blue Cheese in a large salad bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine ranch dressing and rice wine vinegar.  Pour over Vegetables and toss.  Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  Taste after it has been refrigerated to determine if salt and black pepper are need.  Season if necessary.

Yummy!
