\n\nThis is an easy, healthy salad that we love. You can snack on it between meals, have it as a side, or have a bowl of it for lunch. Most people do not associate healthy with delicious but this salad is yummy as well as healthy.<\/p>\n
We used canned fava beans and chickpeas to make the salad quickly. To make it extra healthy, cook the fava beans as well as the chickpeas, that is if time permits. We like to cook the beans ahead of time and freeze them which makes the process of thawing them just as fast as opening a can.<\/p>\n
You can serve the salad as soon as you finish preparing it but we found it is best to let the salad marinate for an hour so the flavours can meld. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
