Chickpea, Tomato, Roasted Pepper and Majdouli Salad

Majdouli cheese is a Lebanese string cheese with nigella seeds in it, it's also called Tortillon. I've found it in most middle eastern delis, superstore and no frills. It's salty and delicious and whenever I make a salad with it for potlucks, everyone loves the cheese and asks where to buy it! If you can't find it you could substitute feta or goat cheese.
