Garbanzo Bean Salad
Overview
Crunchy, chewy, light and mediterranean, I think of this crowd pleasing salad as a blank slate. Always remember, you're the chef! So if you want to, substitute white beans for the garbanzos, red peppers for the green, or any ingredients that are in YOUR pantry and on YOUR shopping list.
