I've been seeing recipes for Garbanzo Bean Salad for sandwiches and I wanted to try it. We use a lot of garbanzo beans but I've never made a salad with them. It's much like tuna salad.
I pretty much just combined what I had remembered seeing, leaving out some items I didn't want (capers and onion).
This is what I did: Drained and rinsed a jar of canned garbanzo beans, put about 3/4 of them in a chopper, added a tsp. lemon juice, a bit of Tabasco sauce, and a tablespoon of dill pickle brine. Then I dumped all that into a bowl, added 2 chopped boiled eggs, a bit of salt, about 1/3 c. chopped celery, about 1/3 cup chopped dill pickles, 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika and stirred in enough mayo to make it all stay together.
It was delicious and Vince loved it. I love tuna salad but I may have loved the garbanzo bean salad better.
One pint jar of beans made enough for the two of us to have sandwiches with plenty of salad on them. I added spinach and sliced tomatoes to the salads. There's enough left over for us to do it again.
This sounds very interesting. We are gonna have to try this.
