To make it you can use chickpeas already canned stews although I like to cook them at home. Thus, by the way, I take the opportunity to make a homemade broth that even if it is summer we can use to prepare rich rice and other recipes.

Add the cheese at the end of the whole. It has a delicate texture, so if you stir it a lot it will end up breaking into tiny pieces.

If you like cheeses with body, you can substitute fresh cheese for cured cheese. This chickpea salad goes great with feta cheese.

You can use the mustard that you like the most the Dijon as well as the old one. You don't need a lot of quantity for the vinaigrette, so if you're on vacation and don't want to buy a whole bottle, you can use an envelope that comes with hamburgers.

Store the chickpea salad with pickle vinaigrette in a container with a tight lid for easy portability. So you can eat it in the beach, pool, work or under a tree on your walk up the mountain.
