Garbanzo Salad with Mango Cumin Dressing

 

My mother loves garbanzo beans (chickpeas). You can always find them in her pantry and she frequently eats them for lunch in a salad or adds them to her soups. I had some leftover mango cumin dressing from our movie night and I decided to use it on a quick salad for my mother and I for lunch.  This salad came together very quickly; a few strokes with the knife and you are done. Loaded with garbanzo beans, red onion, avocado, cucumber and jicama. Served over a bed of fresh spinach or even with a bowl of crispy tortillas chips as an appetizer this salad was a hit.  Actually the salad was much easier to make than my horrible attempt to snap a great photo. I had the worst time taking a quality shot. I believe it was partly the dressing’s fault in that it coated the entire salad contents with a mango colored sheen or maybe it was my need to feed that drove me to cut my photo session short.

 

 

I’m sure it was the need to feed.  My stomach runs my life. Enjoy!

    Don’t you blame that beautiful dressing! 🙂 And anyway the photo is just fine. Moody in a sultry sort of way. I love garbanzo beans and put them in salads all the time. I’ve been thinking of stirring up a spicy version. You’ve got me inspired.

    Chickpeas are my favorite beans. I know lentils are the best legumes and we should eat them at least once a week, but I can’t help eating chickpeas 2-3 times a week. In salad like this one, in soups or making hummus. Mmm
    Next time I have to pair it with avocado, like you did. I know I’m gonna love it!
