- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- Cooking pasta according to package directions and let cool. I like to mix with a small amount of olive oil or rinse under cold water so it doesn’t all stick together while cooling.
- Add pasta to a large bowl. Next, add the chickpeas and all the vegetables, including the basil.
- Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl or jar and mix until combined. Pour desired amount of dressing over pasta salad and mix until combined. Enjoy immediately or refrigerator up to 3 days.
