Summer is almost here and you may have spent the whole winter working hard on your health and wellness goals. Don’t let the holiday weekend get you off track. Here are two of my favorite recipes to make when enjoying cookouts with friends and family!
Italian Garbanzo Bean Salad
Ingredients 1 16 oz can of canned garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed. 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped into small pieces 1 small bunch of scallions, sliced into rounds 1 small red onion, peeled and sliced thinly 1 tbs chopped parsley 2 tbs lemon juice 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tbs red wine vinegar 1 tsp dried oregano 2 cloves garlic, minced kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste Garbanzo beans are otherwise known as chick peas.
