Cumin Lime Chickpea Salad

This is my favorite bean salad ever, and it's the only way I can get Mike to eat chickpeas.  

So GOOD!

Photo steps below, and full recipe is at the bottom of post!

Gather ingredients

Wash garbanzo (chickpea) beans and place in bowl

Add diced onion and cilantro

Mix dressing 

Stir all ingredients together and enjoy!

So good!  It gets better as it sits, but it's hard to keep it around that long!

Cumin Lime Chickpea Salad

• 2 cans garbanzo beans
• 1/2 red onion
• 1/2 bunch of cilantro (or more, I add more because, well, duh, it's delicious)

     Dressing for Salad

• 1 lime - juiced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 cloves of minced garlic

First step is to prep your ingredients.  

     Open garbanzo bean cans and rinse in a colander.  

     Dice your red onion

     Wash and seperate your cilantro leaves from stems and then chop.  

          (I like to keep my cilantro pieces fairly big, but this is a personal preference.)

In a small bowl combine the following:

lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper, and minced garlic.  

Stir together with fork.  

In large bowl mix garbanzo beans, onion, cilantro, and dressing.  

Try and restrain yourself from eating whole bowl, forkful by forkful, and place in fridge. 

The longer it sits, the more delicious it gets.  

Quick, simple, and flavorful!  My favorite kind of recipe!
