Chickpea and Artichoke Salad

Keepin' it simple, keepin' it tasty, keepin' it healthy and keepin' it real people.  That sums up this delicious salad.  Seriously, you can whip this up in minutes.  It travels well, it keeps well and it doubles well.  Perhaps I've talked it up enough....just saying it's good.  Oh, and it's super wicked awesome when made ahead by at least 4 hours.

Chickpea Artichoke Salad

Serves 4

1 can chickpeas, drained
1 can artichoke hearts, quartered and halved
1/2 red pepper, small dice
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon rind
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste (about a 1/4 tsp salt at least)

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl.  Combine the rest of the ingredients, stir and pour over the salad. Voila.
