• 1/2 cup tomatoes diced

• 1/3 cup other protein such as chopped salami, chicken or smoked salmon (optional)

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt & pepper

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 about 2 tbsp of 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.
