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.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds REALLY GOOD!!
ReplyDeleteMy dad used to take kidney bean salad sandwiches, wrapped in waxed paper, in his silver metal lunchbox. I think the ingredients were about the same.
