Here’s a delicious, roasted garbanzo beans salad with refreshing and tangy veggies that make it unforgettable.  This is a high protein salad that will actually fill you up. I added fresh curly parsley, mint, tomatoes, red onions and a surprise ingredient of goji berries, with a refreshing homemade sumac honey-lemon salad dressing.

roasted garbanzo beansRoasted garbanzo beans are my favorite healthy snack and bring a nice texture and taste for a salad. Garbanzo beans are filling and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, but contain high amounts of folate and manganese. Garbanzo beans have long been valued for their fiber and protein content.  I would recommend buying Garbanzo beans with no salt, added and if you are buying canned Garbanzo beans, be sure to look for a BPA-FREE 0r Non BPA lining can.

Roasted Garbanzo Beans

I roasted the Garbanzo beans in light olive oil, salt and sumac powder. Sumac powder has tangy lemon flavor, yet it is more balanced and less tart than lemon juice.
Sumac is a very popular condiment in Turkey and Iran and is an essential ingredient in Middle Eastern cooking.  Purchase sumac from Amazon.com or at many international markets. I bought my Sadaf Sumac Powder (pure sumac without any other ingredients) at local market for less than $5 per 12.5 oz.

    I haven’t tried Garbanzo beans. I am not sure if I would like them or not. Your salad looks tasty though.
