Ingredients
Judi’s Italian Garbanzo Bean SaladIngredients2 cans (15.5 oz ea.) Garbanzo Beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained 1/2 can (14.5 oz) petite, diced tomatoes (or use 1 small can)1/2 cup diced onions (I like vidalia or sweet; but red is also good)1/4 cup finely shredded carrots1/4 cup sliced green olives with pimiento (or slice some whole olives)Note: I rinse these to remove excess sodium½ cup Light Done Right Zesty Italian Dressing1 cup 2% Mozzarella cheese, grated1 tsp. Italian seasoning, or dried basilPossible additional ingredients1 large head Iceberg lettuceUp to 8 Tbs. Balsamic vinegarUp to 8 tsp. Reduced-fat grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
Pour 2 cans Garbanzo Beans (chickpeas) into colander and rinse with cold water.
Shake out the water and pour them into a large sealable bowl.
Add in the 1/2 can of petite, diced tomatoes with juice.
Recycle their cans, please!
Add in all of the remaining ingredients.
Stir ingredients gently together in the bowl.
Seal or cover bowl and refrigerate. This softens and sets the dried spices, only 1/2 hour is needed.
Serve alone or on top of a bed of lettuce.
IF serving on top of lettuce, try this:
I like to take a head of iceberg lettuce and slice it. I use a 3/4 inch slice for each plate.
Then I place ½ to ¾ cup Garbanzo salad onto each lettuce slice.
Next, top that with1 Tbs. of grated Parmesan Cheese and 1 Tbs. of balsamic vinegar.
Delicious!
