Linda’s comments:  I made this recipe and let it sit over night.  The longer it sits the better it is….I also added some rice noodles…depending on the size of the rice noodles, you might need to not use as much vinegar/oil OR you might need to add more.

Excerpt:

3 cups finely chopped organic fennel bulb

2 cups chopped organic tomato

1 3/4 cups finely chopped organic red onion

1 cup chopped fresh organic basil

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoon coconut oil (non flavor) 

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt salt

4 organic garlic cloves, minced

2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans organic chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained……

Rice noodle (small package cooked lightly…… 

1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

Combine everything, (except the cheese in a bowl) toss well. Let stand 30 minutes then sprinkle with cheese. Best if left to sit in fridge over night. If left to sit in fridge over night, wait to sprinkle the Feta cheese right before you serve it….
