I made up this recipe for a cool summer dish to take to a picnic. I just threw together things I had on hand and it became a hit! You may substitute your favorite type of bean for the garbanzos.

Provided by Patricia Naveira

Categories     Pasta Salads

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 c chicken broth or water
1 1/2 c orzo pasta, uncooked
1 can(s) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 c mixed red and yellow teardrop or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 c fresh basil, chopped
1/4 c fresh mint, chopped
1/2 c blush wine vinaigrette ( i use brianna's brand, in the salad dressing section)
salt to taste
fresh ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Bring broth to a boil in a large heavy sauce pan over high heat. Stir in Orzo. Cover partially and cook stirring frequently until the orzo is tender but still firm to the bite. About 7 minutes. Drain the orzo through a strainer. Transfer the orzo to a large wide bowl and toss until the orzo cools slightly. Set aside to cool completely. Toss the orzo with the rest of ingredients and enough blush vinaigrette to coat. You may not use all the vinaigrette. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and beans will give your garbanzo bean salad the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the garbanzo beans: Overcooked beans will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they are just tender, about 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Adding a variety of vegetables to your salad will give it more flavor and texture. Some good choices include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers, and carrots.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what will bring all the flavors of your salad together. Use a dressing that is light and flavorful, such as a vinaigrette or a lemon-tahini dressing.
  • Serve your salad immediately: Garbanzo bean salad is best served immediately after it is made. The vegetables will start to wilt if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Garbanzo bean salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover garbanzo beans, and it is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins.
