Garbanzo Salad and Sandwiches, September 11, 2013

I'm a huge fan of grilled cheese sandwiches and I made myself a beaut for dinner Sunday night! Tillamook extra-sharp cheddar on 15-grain bread---Heaven! My wife opted for a turkey sandwich. I also made a beautiful garbanzo salad to go with our sandwiches. Cut-up watermelon made a perfect summer dessert.

To make the salad, just throw together a well-drained can of garbanzos, some chopped basil and parsley, juice of 1 lemon, a splash of olive oil, a few minced cloves of garlic, a handful of grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch each of salt (I used fleur de sel) and pepper (freshly ground is best). This is even better the next day. This serves 2-4.
