1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3 cups cooked spaghetti squash*

2 cups chopped tomato

1 cup diced cucumber
(I like English)

1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup diced green bell pepper

1/4 cup diced red onion

2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives ( I buy just what I need at Schnucks or Dierbergs at the olive bar)

1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained

Preparation

Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; stir well with a whisk.

Combine squash and remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
Add vinegar mixture; toss well. Cover and chill.

(Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds.

Place squash cut sides up in a microwave dish with 1/4 cup water.

Cover and cook on high for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on size of squash.

Add more cooking time if necessary.

Let stand covered, for 5 minutes.

With fork "comb" out the strands.)

Made this the other day and remembered how much I like it and wondered why I do not make it more often.
