A taste of Summer

I had to share this beautiful and delicious summer salad I created for lunch the other day. While eating this, it made me really excited for summer and all the BARBEQUING to come :).  Take this salad for lunch or as a side dish to any summer party you're attending. (No one has to know it only takes about 10 minute to make!)

  • 1 can garbanzo beans, drained
  • 1 cup sliced mini sweet peppers
  • 1/2 avocado, cubed
  • 1 tomato, julienne
  • 2 tbsp honey mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • crushed red peppers (This little kick of spice makes all the difference!)
Combine the garbs, sweet peppers, tomatoes, and avocado in a bowl.  Make the dressing by whisking together the mustard, vinegar, and canola oil.  Toss dressing into bowl with other ingredients.  Mix in salt, pepper, and crushed red peppers to taste. 

This little salad has everything your taste buds crave: salty, sweet, and lots of amazing textures...and of course it's healthy too ;)
