Mediterranean Garbanzo Salad (makes 2-3 servings; total cost per serving: ~$1.50)
1 14 oz. can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
½ medium cucumber, chopped
1 medium tomato, diced
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced into 1” pieces
¼ c crumbled low-fat feta cheese
2 T olive oil
3 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ t dried oregano
Salt & pepper to taste
Place all the veggies into a large bowl and toss together. Briskly whisk together the dressing ingredients, add to the beans & veggies, and toss together until completely coated. For maximum flavor, I strongly suggest letting this marinate a couple of hours if you have the time. When ready to serve, add the crumbled feta & toss together (or you can just crumble it on top as a garnish if you prefer). Serve by itself or as a side, top with freshly ground black pepper, and enjoy!(via Poor Girl Eats Well)
Pressed sandwich* with Serrano ham, Laguiole cheese, dijon mustard and a fried egg.
Lately I’ve been obsessed with putting fried eggs into all kinds of sandwiches.
*You don’t need special equipment to make a panini…just a flat griddle and a cast iron or other heavy skillet to rest on top while it cooks.
These are the roasted pears I made yesterday. Easy recipe. I didn’t have star-anis, so mine went without it. Enjoy!
