Meal on the go idea!

Thanks Susie for this recipe! I will be trying it out this week!

Chickpea Antipasto

1 can (19 oz.) Unico or Cedar chickpeas, drained and rinsed (OR cook your own chickpeas! 2 2/3 cups!)
15 kalamata olives, pitted
3 roasted red peppers, cut in strips
6 artichoke hearts (jarred), broken up
3 oz Feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup Olive oil
¼ cup Lemon juice
1 tbsp Maille Dijon mustard (do not substitute another brand or kind of mustard or it will not taste right)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
Sea Salt
Fresh ground black pepper


Add chickpeas, olives, roasted red peppers and artichokes to bowl.
Gently add feta.
Blend together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and Dijon to emulsify.
Add oregano, basil, sea salt and pepper to taste.
Mix together and let sit for flavors to meld.
Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to 24 hours.
Let come to room temp prior to serving.
Will keep in refrigerator for up to one week, but it tastes so good you will probably finish it well before that!

  1. You are very welcome! This recipe was given to me by a friend (who happens to be a Blue Ribbon California chef). I've made it MANY times and it is even better the day after you make it. It is healthy, filling and deeeelish! I hope you enjoy it!
