GARBANZO BEAN AND SWEET PEPPER SALAD

Garbanzo Bean and Sweet Pepper Salad image

I tasted this delicious salad last year at a summer potluck and convinced the chef to part with the recipe. Sometimes I'll boil one cup gemelli pasta (corkscrew) and toss it in with the other ingredients to "stretch" the salad for potlucks, picnics, etc. Marinating is necessary to allow the flavors to mingle.

Tips:

Choose fresh ingredients: Using fresh vegetables and herbs will give your salad the best flavor. Look for peppers that are firm and brightly colored, and garbanzo beans that are plump and not wrinkled.
Cook the garbanzo beans properly: If you're using dried garbanzo beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this salad should be crisp-tender, so don't cook them for too long. A few minutes in a hot skillet or on a grill is all they need.
Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings this salad together, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and add some fresh herbs and spices to taste.
Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served fresh, so make it just before you're ready to eat it. The vegetables will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This garbanzo bean and pepper salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it's also very easy to make. With its bright colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
