Loading...Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup cooked garbanzo beans
- 1 carrot, peeled and shredded
- 1 green apple, peeled and shredded
- 1 Orange, peeled and diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 2 Tbsp. hemp seeds

- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. sunflower seed oil
- 1/2 lettuce (I used Boston lettuce)
Instructions
To cook the garbanzo beans, soak the dried chickpeas overnight in cold water. Drain the garbanzo beans and put in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover generously. Bring to the boil over high heat and cook for 10-15 minutes. Drain.
In a large bowl mix together all the vegetables, fruits, grains and seeds.
In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, sunflower seed oil, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the salad. Lightly toss the salad. Sprinkle fresh herbs on a top and serve.
Notes
If you are using garbanzo beans from a can drain them in a colander first and then rinse them with room-temperature water (rinsing helps reduce the sodium).

February 12, 2014 at 9:06 pmI was just telling my husband that I went to the gym this morning and I came home and ate the leftover (which could feed two people)… Ahhh! Now looking at your salad, I know I should have eaten THIS salad lunch instead. Looks so healthy and now I feel like I need to go back to the gym. Love this nutritious salad!
