I found the most fantastic salad recipe today that I just had to share:

Yogurt Vegetable Salad
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt (I used Trader Joe's Greek-style)
1/4 cup garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2.5 oz diced cucumber (about one pickling-sized cucumber)
1.5 oz cherry tomatoes (about 4-6), halved
5-10 leaves of fresh basil, minced (you can also use mint)
1-2 tsp dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix it all up and eat it. This makes one generous serving (good for a snack) and it comes to about 85 calories.

To make it a little more substantial, I added 1/2 fillet of BumbleBee Meskite Grilled Tuna, which increased the calories to 160. It tasted like summer!

This sounds so good. I just love garbanzo beans!

That looks really good! We're still able to get these really delicious orange cherry tomatoes at the farmer's market and I like them but can never use them all up. This looks like an excellent vehicle for them.

Oh wow, that sounds great!

I'm definitely trying this in the summer - the tomatoes here at the moment are absolutely foul and too expensive to even consider buying.

Thanks, Barbara!
