Italian Chopped Salad


Italian Chopped Salad
My 4 1/2 year old daughter attends little preschool every Friday morning called Madame BonAbitude which means Mrs. Good Habits.  Each week they learn about a new country and cook a dish from that country along with learning dances and songs.  
Her teacher asked me our culture and I choose the Italian side..more interesting then the American culture and if I could come up with a dish the children could prepare in class.  
This is the one we will make with a few of my daughter's request "Mommy, remove and orange pepper, and chick peas"...hope the children like it!

1 small can chick peas

Dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tblsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp italian seasoning
