Ingredients

    Judi’s Italian Garbanzo Bean Salad

    Ingredients
    2 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 carrots
    1/4 cup sliced green olives with pimiento (or slice some whole olives)
    Note: I rinse these to remove excess sodium
    ½ cup Light Done Right Zesty Italian Dressing
    1 cup 2% Mozzarella cheese, grated
    1 tsp. Italian seasoning, or dried basil

    Possible additional ingredients
    1 large head Iceberg lettuce
    Up to 8 Tbs. Balsamic vinegar
    Up to 8 tsp. Reduced-fat grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions

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!
