"This is an easy, healthy salad that is a great side dish to BBQ chicken, beef or fish! It can also be easily adapted to a Tex-Mex style by changing the lemon to lime, parsley to cilantro and adding ground cumin and/or chili powder! Be sure to add the lemon zest (or lime zest) as this really adds a ZING to the salad!"

Ingredients:
1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon capers, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together the garbanzo beans, kidney beans, lemon juice and zest, tomato, onion, parsley, capers, and olive oil. Cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, before serving.
