Greek Garbanzo Bean Salad
I’ve finally lost my baby weight (said in a whisper). I don’t want to jinx myself so I’m tentatively saying it.
No, I’m not one of those girls who looks like she just ate a big meal when she’s pregnant or one of those girls who comeshome from the hospital in her skinny jeans.I’m a planet when I’m pregnant. With moons and everything.
Since I’ve been having babies for 10 years, I havefrom size 0-14 in my closet for whatever phase I’m in. I just went through all my clothes and donated a majority of them.It felt good todejunk and know that hopefully I won’t ever have to wear those clothes again.
On second thought, I’m headed to BlogHer Food this weekend soI may have jumped the gun a bit. Oops.
Turns out eating healthy and exercising works.Who knew? Of coursethis pregnancy was a bit of a surprise so I actually have 10 more pounds until I get to the weight I wantto be.We’ve been eating a lot of fresh food and salads like these.
A long time ago my husband and I tried to eat only fruits and veggies for a week. We ate a lot of garbanzo beans too. Ahhh. This brought me back to those days.
Salads like this are so filling and I’ve been all over the Greek flavor lately so I knew I would love this. This Greek Garbanzo salad is easy, light, and great change to pasta salads.

Hi! This looks amazing! Going to make it tonight, just a question, can this be refrigerated when done and if so for how long? I would love to make this and have for lunch at work a few days but didn’t know how it would sit.

It’s definitely good for 1-2 days. I found it went downhill after that.

I just have to say that this is the best salad I have ever made! I brought this to a BBQ for my husband’s company and it was a total hit. Thank you for all your great recipes. About 50% of the things I make are from your blog 🙂

I live in Greece and I was so tickled to see this salad and then my next thought was why I have I never made this or even thought of it. 😛 Thank you for this.

This looks delicious. Garbanzo beans are my favorite of all the beans. I always have to open a second can because I eat them by the handful. I definitely need to try this salad.

Congrats on hitting your goal weight, Christy! I laughed reading “I’m a planet when I’m pregnant” – you’re hysterical. You always look great in photos! This salad looks wonderful. Have fun in Miami! Wish I was going this year.
