Instructions
- In a large bowl, coarsely mash the chickpeas using a potato masher. You want about half to be really well mashed, but the rest can be coarsely mashed or even whole.
- Toss the chickpeas with the black olives, artichoke hearts, and roasted red peppers. Stir in the pesto, according to taste. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Notes
- This salad can be eaten on its own or as a sandwich topping. I added fresh heirloom tomato slices to top off my sandwiches, but grilled or roasted veggies would also be a great addition.
