I found this recipe in the latest issue of Redbook and modified it to my liking (and my garden) and MMM was it tasty – and simple…
oh yes and for all you WW folks, one serving = 7 points 
Garbanzo & Tomato Salad w/ Soyrizo Chorizo (serves 4)
1 tbsp organic EV olive oil (I buy this in the bulk aisle, refilling the same dark green glass bottle over & over)
6 oz (1 link) Soyrizo chorizo, crumbled (I’m not vegan/veg but find meat is harder on my tummy these days so this gives the texture & spice I like)
1/2 cup green onions (chopped right outta the garden)
1 can of garbanzo beans (eventually I’m going to buy these in bulk, but the good folks at Eden do a great can of organic beans in a BPA-free can)
16 oz yellow pear tomatoes, halved (dude I got a TON of these in the garden so it’s a relief to have something to use them in besides greens or pasta!)
2 tbsp organic white wine vinegar (I always have a big bottle of this in the fridge as it’s also a great alternative to balsamic in vinaigrettes as I stopped buying salad dressing years ago).
1/4 tsp organic black pepper (bulk aisle purchase, of course)
Dash sea salt (yep, another bulk aisle favorite)
1/8 cup dried parsley (or double if fresh – I’ve done a crap job growing it this year for some reason so glad I had the dried stuff from the bulk bins on hand)
Saute the chorizo for a few minutes in the olive oil and add the green onions, making sure to stir regularly (it tends to stick compared to real sausage so I use a spatula). Stir in the garbanzos, pepper, salt, and parsley, and saute for a bit longer. Add the tomatoes and white wine vinegar and cook a few more minutes then serve warm.
I’m visiting via Reduce Footprints MnG… I love this recipe, though I’m likely to try it with sausage, or maybe just throw in sausage spices, like fennel, nutmeg & garlic… Lovely blog you have here!
the original recipe called for Chorizo sausage and I just subbed Soyrizo as it’s all the spices and texture, but none of the meat (which bothers my tummy). soyrizo is one of the only “fake meats” i like the taste of
thanks for stopping by!
That looks delicious! Will add it to my list of recipes to try.
Got here from Meet & Greet Monday.
