Chickpea Pasta Salad

A meal in itself! Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, have twice as much iron as other legumes and are high in Vitamin B.

• 4 tablespoons wine vinegar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ½ teaspoon oregano
• 4 tablespoons oil
• 2 cups cooked pasta (bow ties, shells, ziti, etc.)
• 2 cups canned chickpeas
• 4 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• ¼ cup pimento, diced

In a large bowl combine vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, oregano, and oil. Add pasta, chickpeas, chopped parsley, and pimento. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

Serves 10.
