1/2 can garbanzo beans, rinsed
1/4 of a red onion, chopped
1/8 cup of fresh cilantro
1/4 cup of red wine vinegar (or more if you love vinegar-y things like I do)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Now enjoy with some vino! And on to the fun stories:
As a girl of 28 who is emotionally stunted I've tried a lot of things when it comes to dating. Things like throwing myself at unavailable men, talking myself into guys I wasn't really into, and most recently, online dating. As you might imagine, this has been a mixed bag. Many first dates, some second and very few third dates. Some spark and also some weird poems and comics received in the mail at work. Literally postmarked. However, every now and then you actually find a gem. Someone who is actually fantastic. Someone who actually gets you and is attractive and awesome. And 2000 miles away. Helpful. My gem chose to share this recipe with me...which of course I modified for one:
You will need:
the other 1/2 can of garbanzo beans
1/4 of a bell pepper, whichever color, chopped
1/4 onion
for the dressing you'll want:
1 clove garlic (roasted if you'd like!), chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup of oil (apparently olive oil solidifies and that sounds gross so maybe go vegetable oil?)
a dash of jalapenos (your choice of fresh or canned)
Combine the first three ingredients. Set aside. Combine dressing ingredients and mix well. Add dressing to bean mixture and toss to coat. Enjoy.
Wherever this crazy world takes you, especially in the dating spectrum, I wish you luck. Hopefully you can avoid the awkward poems and comics in the mail. I was not so lucky. And hopefully you will find a gem. If you can't have them at least they can remind you that they're out there and that you should never lose hope.
