Garbanzo Cucumber Salad (plant-based, gluten-free)

5 from 1 vote
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 Bird
That 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.
