Notes

This recipe is vegetarian as is but you could easily add some grilled chicken, pork, fish or steak on top.
I use my homemade Italian dressing (with a tablespoon of Dijon mustard added for a tangy version) but you could substitute your favorite kind.
I use peppadew or piquillo peppers. You might also find small sweet cherry peppers. You could substitute roasted red peppers if you prefer.
Feel free to use your favorite kind of olive here. (I used kalamata.)
I’ve used both a regular cucumber and an English hot house cucumber. Both are great, so use whichever you prefer.
You can substitute homemade crock pot chickpeas for the can of chickpeas. You need about 1 ½ cups.
