Chickpea Pasta Salad

---

This is a different and very tasty salad. I have even added cooked chicken or beef to the mixture. Prep time does not include boiling the pasta and cooking time is chilling time. Adjust all amounts to taste.

---

Steps

---

Cook pasta in boiling water until firm-tender drain , and rinse under cold water until cool.

---

Drain again well.

---

In a medium bowl , combine the cooked pasta , chick-peas , carrot , bell pepper and green onions.

---

In a small bowl , whisk together the vinegar , mayo , mustard , black pepper , salt and italian seasoning until well blended.

---

Pour over the salad.

---

Toss to coat evenly.

---

Cover , and refrigerate for 2 hours to blend flavors.
