Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss together chickpeas, olive oil, salt and pepper, and dried Italian seasoning. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes, or until crispy.
- Prepare the dressing by combining all dressing ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to use.

Notes
For optimal flavor, make the dressing a few hours in advance. You can also marinate the chicken overnight for more flavor.
