Recipe - Refreshing Chickpea Veggie Salad

Summertime!  Ahhhh good stuff, great weather and amazing food!  My wife has done it again with another awesome clean, cool and refreshing salad she created.

What we need:
2 - can chickpeas / Garbanzo beans
1/4 - medium onion
1/2 - red pepper
1/2 - cucumber
2 - stalks celery
1/4 - lite fat free italian dressing
salt & pepper to taste

Finely chop in to 1/4" squares the onion, cucumber, celery and red pepper.  Combine with the chickpeas in a separate serving bowl.  Top with dressing and mix ingredients well until all coated with the dressing.  Chill in fridge and serve cold.

Feel free to add other veggies as this would be just as good with some broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, or even if you added some different beans as well.  It is cool and so refreshing on those warm summer days!!  Get creative and share in the comment section.

Thanks for visiting the blog!  until next time,
Kel
