Garbanzo Bean Herb Summer Salad

Summer is here! What better way to kick off the start to summer than this healthy Garbanzo Bean Herb Summer Salad? I made this salad the other night and it easily became my new favorite. I will definitely be making this numerous times. It’s easy and delicious and keeps well in the refrigerator, so the leftovers are just as delicious as the first initial bowl.

The inspiration for this recipe came from our lack of groceries in the house. I had all good intentions of going to the grocery store on Sunday. Good intentions clearly became no attentions after my fiancé wash and waxed my car and the weather decided it was going to rain. I didn’t want my freshly cleaned car having rain spots, that would just be a travesty. Keeping my good intentions going I scoured our cupboard and refrigerator and threw this delicious master piece together.
