When I first became a vegetarian I had to make the decision of whether or not I would still eat fish. The only fish I ever enjoyed was Tuna, so I figured I would just cut out ALL meat all together. Some days I still miss being able to make a quick tuna salad, so I came up with this quick and simple recipe substituting garbanzo beans for the protein source! I am not a low-carb person, but I do tend to cut out most bread and like to eat this salad on top of a bed of lettuce instead! Happy eating!
