“A chickpea salad garnished with lemons. Warming the garlic and olive oil is optional, but it adds a nice flavor!”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 2 teaspoons olive oil
* 1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
* 1 tomato, chopped

* 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
* 1 pinch ground black pepper
