A flavorful riff on Pasta Puttanesca, this salad substitutes pasta with chick peas, combining them with ripe tomatoes, capers, olives, and garlic. The addition of Parmesan enhances the umami flavor, although it can be omitted for a vegan option. This dish is versatile, perfect as a side salad or with added protein like tuna or chicken. It tastes even better as it sits, allowing the flavors to marry.
