Ingredients

    1 can Chick Peas - drained & rinsed
    1 can Black Olives (approx. 40)
    1/4 cup Onions - chopped small
    2 cloves Garlic - finely chopped or minced
    1 cup diced Red Ripe Tomatoes
    1 diced cucumber - seeds removed
    4 tbsp Fat Free Italian Dressing

Directions

Drain and rinse chick peas and set aside to drain while you prepare the other ingredients. Drain the black olives. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. You can add other fresh or dried herbs to suit your own tastes. Cover and refrigerate at least an hour, but the longer the better ... the flavors mix as it sits.

This is delicious as a side dish, added to a green salad, or as a pita filling. Goes well with feta cheese!
