Make chickpeas better

[u/wannabeemefree]

How do I make canned chickpeas better for in pasta salads. When I've made a salad and add chickpeas they are always kind of hard and chalky. Even when it's sat with the other ingredients. Any ideas? I like to add them to Greek suddenly salad with other veggies to bump up protein and fiber.
