 Spicy Bean Salad is that kind of salad that can be in the refrigerator for several days and get better and better.

Spicy Bean Salad

This bean salad is what landed me my first cut with auditioning for FOX network show, Masterchef. Yes, in that initial audition I made this dish and served it with pan seared salmon, and with only a taste, the food critic was thumbs up! I’ve been making it for years, and it’s always a hit with family and friends. It’s the kind of salad that can be in the refrigerator for several days and get better and better.

Chickpeas Garbanzo

The name chickpea comes from the Latin word cicer, referring to the plant family of legumes, Fabaceae. It is also known by its popular Spanish-derived name, the garbanzo bean. Chickpeas are often used to sprout, as they contain an increased concentration of vitamin C and some other substances. If desired, you can eat it in canned form, since in this case, it retains all its useful properties.

Are Chickpeas the Same as Garbanzo Beans?

There is no difference between chickpea beans and garbanzo beans. The only difference between chickpea and garbanzo beans is that the term chickpea is of English origin and the term garbanzo bean is of Spanish origin. Want to try more recipes?

You can also play around with it as you like~~add tomatoes (I’d suggest the cherry tomatoes sliced in half lengthwise), maybe diced carrots or celery, or vegetables in season. It’s great with a touch of smokiness by adding roasted on the grill and freshly cut off the cob corn. And, if you prefer another type of bean, have at it because a fourth and fifth variety would work. Just know that it makes a lot, so you might want to have plenty of storage containers for sharing with neighbors!
