Mediterranean Garbanzo Bean Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Dan and I will be traveling again starting tomorrow and based on our last excursion I knew some changes to our eating habits were in order. I do not like fast food at all. The thought of yet again another greasy over priced burger on a smooshed bun makes me cringe, so I decided it was time to take charge of our food while on the road. We live 12 miles from the nearest grocery store and I did not want to go to town for anything. I put my thinking cap on and searched my pantry and refrigerator and this is what I came up with today. A healthy, vegetable packed, protein rich salad with a simple EVOO and Red Wine Vinaigrette!

Here’s what I used, but really any combination of veggies in your fridge would work well. Cauliflower, broccoli, celery, carrots and more!

Mediterranean Garbanzo Bean Salad

Cast your fate to the wind with this one! I measured NOTHING! Simply took whatever I had in the fridge and pantry and ran with it. Drizzled with EVOO and Red Wine Vinegar. I wished I had fresh Parsley but not at my house today.I did have fresh Rosemary so I added a finely minced teaspoon. Dried Basil and dried Parsley seasoned this beautifully along with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
