This bean salad is what landed me my first cut with auditioning for FOX network show, Masterchef. Yes, in that initial audition I made this dish and served it with pan seared salmon, and with only a taste, the food critic was thumbs up!

Chickpeas Garbanzo

The name chickpea comes from the Latin word cicer, referring to the plant family of legumes, Fabaceae. It is also known by its popular Spanish-derived name, the garbanzo bean. Chickpeas are often used to sprout, as they contain an increased concentration of vitamin C and some other substances. If desired, you can eat it in canned form, since in this case, it retains all its useful properties.

You can also play around with it as you like~~add tomatoes (I’d suggest the cherry tomatoes sliced in half lengthwise), maybe diced carrots or celery, or vegetables in season. It’s great with a touch of smokiness by adding roasted on the grill and freshly cut off the cob corn. And, if you prefer another type of bean, have at it because a fourth and fifth variety would work. Just know that it makes a lot, so you might want to have plenty of storage containers for sharing with neighbors!
