• 1/2 cup tomatoes diced

• 1/2 cup other protein such as chicken or salmon (optional)

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt & pepper

• Lemon juice to serve

I recommend quadrupling the dressing recipe and keeping on hand for all of your salad needs!

Instructions

1. Start by making your dressing by whisking together all ingredients.

2. Pour the dressing over your garbanzo beans and refrigerate for about an hour. If you don't have time to marinate the beans its okay, but a major game changer!

3. Combine the rest of the ingredients and toss together with the dressing.

4. Serve with lots of lemon juice and top with more grated parm.
