Jorge: We've been told...
Glenn: ... by the Food Police...
Jorge: ...that Cuban food is unhealthy...
Glenn: ... by the Food Police...
Jorge: ..."Where's the salads?" they cry.
Glenn: Again, that's the Food Police, talking.
Jorge: Well, just to prove them wrong, here is another delicious and healthy Cuban salad.
Glenn: The next time anyone from the Food Police comes over, we're going to give them a big bag of lettuce to munch on. That will mean more of that "unhealthy" Cuban food for the rest of us! YUM!
- 1 green pepper diced and blanched
- 1 red bell pepper diced and blanched
- 1 cup sweet yellow onion, diced
- 2 (15-ounce) cans garbanzo beans
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 red bell pepper diced and blanched
Combine the peppers, onion, and garbanzo beans in a non-metallic bowl. Use a blender to combine the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic. Pour the dressing over the garbanzo bean mixture, cover and refrigerate for one hour or more to let the flavors absorb into the beans.
Serve the salad chilled on a lettuce leaf.
