Garbanzo Bean Salad

We’re having a family cookout today, and I wanted to bring a healthy side dish.  After some googling, I decided to go with this recipe for Greek Garbanzo Bean Salad.

My salad consisted of:

  • 2 HUGE seedless cucumbers
  • 2 HUGE green peppers
  • 1/2 of a HUGE red onion
  • 2 cans of garbanzo beans (AKA chick peas), drained and rinsed
  • a HUGE container of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 3.5 ounce container Athenos Reduced fat Feta Cheese

Isn’t it weird how sometimes you can go to the grocery store and all the veggies are puney, then sometimes they all look like they are on steroids?

The dressing consisted of:

  • 1 cup Ken’s Steakhouse lite Italian Dressing
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon

All togetha nah:

All up in there:

Hope the family likes it!

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
