Garbanzo Cucumber Salad (plant-based, gluten-free)
A bright, lively and very simple garbanzo cucumber salad that will make your whole body smile. I’m not normally a fan of cucumbers but I polished off a second helping of this! We ate it with sauteed sesame spinach and steamed rice.For today's inspiration, here is a beautiful poem by Emily Dickinson:“Hope” is the thing with feathers –That perches in the soul –And sings the tune without the words –And never stops – at all –And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –And sore must be the storm –That could abash the little BirdThat kept so many warm –I’ve heard it in the chillest land –And on the strangest Sea –Yet – never – in Extremity,It asked a crumb – of me.


Ingredients
- 1 can or 1 1/2 cups of garbanzo beans / chick peas
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 lemon, squeezed
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 1 sprig mint or rosemary, leaves minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix the garbanzo beans and diced cucumber.
- Add the lemon juice, paprika, mint/rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- And that’s it! Serve with any side dishes, like sauteed sesame spinach and rice.
