Best Easy Garbanzo Bean Salad
I love this simple, low-calorie, high-protein Mediterranean salad. It is very healthy and vegan. Packed with bright, crisp vegetables like garbanzo beans, cucumber, tomato, red onion, garlic, spices, and parsley, all in an oil and vinegar dressing. It’s undeniably amazing because of its delicious simplicity. I reverse-engineered the recipe from a Mediterranean food stand at my local Farmers Market. I made it multiple times until I got it just right.
