Greek Garbanzo Salad

October 1, 2012 by JennifersKitchen

Summer is almost over (sniff), so I find myself squeezing in as many fresh tomato and basil recipes as possible before the chilly winter winds whirl in and whisk all the tender garden produce away.

This mayo-free salad is rich in fiber and protein and is super easy to make.

You can use canned garbanzo beans if you like (which would sort of make this a no-cook recipe), but I love the taste and texture, not to mention the money saving factor, of beans cooked in a crock-pot or slow cooker. If you need a little refresher course on this, check out the post I wrote on how to cook beans in slow cooker.

This Greek Garbanzo Salad is very filling, low in calories, high in fiber, and loaded with nutrients making it a great recipe for weight loss.

    This sounds good. I love the combination of garbanzos, tomatoes, and red onion. All the other ingredients are just “gravy”, so to speak.

    For anyone who doesn’t want to use oil, and wants to increase nutritional values could use your Creamy Italian dressing as a great substitution. You just need to adjust the seasonings in the recipe.
