Low Carb Recipe – Tomato Salad with Chick Peas and Onions

tomato chick peas salad

Serves: 2 | CarbsPerServing: – | Prep time: 10 min | Effort: Very Easy

Ingredients:
4-5 fresh tomatos
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans, ceci beans)
1 onion (optional)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
black pepper (powdered; optional)
salt

How to Prepare:
Wash the tomatos thoroughly and slice them. Peel the onion & slice it – optional; if you do not like onion, do not use it :) Add some salt and pepper. Add vinegar. Add a can of chickpeas to the salad. Mix everything together – finished!

Caloric value, carbs and other ingredients:
This salad is very easy and quick to prepare; onion & black pepper is optional. As mentioned in other recipes, chickpeas do not have a very low carbohydrate content, but they do have the “good” carbs – with low glycemic index – and a lot of cholesterol-lowering fibre as well as vitamins and minerals, natural healthy fats and oils and a blend of enzymes.

Again, as mentioned, chick peas do contain about (mostly “good” ones) 23% carbs.

    Tis recipe looks great and I think my kid will actually eat this salad (he loves tomatoes). I love that I can sneak in a few more healthy stuff without him knowing it too.

    Juicing and raw foods are fantastic, truly a natural medicine. I would however be concerned at using it for weight loss. I see the problem being that once you have lost the weight people will then go back to their former diets and lifestyle and the weight will comeback. Unless you chosse to do it forever. Any thoughts?
