Garbanzos are a great source of vegetable protein, and they have a nutty flavor that goes well in salads.

This simple, fresh-tasting salad combines garbanzos with freshly chopped vegetables. Toss them with a vinaigrette dressing made with a small amount of olive oil and let the salad marinate to develop flavor. Serve it on watercress, a springtime favorite.
