Low Carb Recipe – Tomato Salad with Chick Peas and Onions
Filed under Cheap Low Carb Meals, Low Carb Recipes, Uncategorized
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.

That recipe looks really good. Not very often I find a recipe with chickpeas that looks edible.

I’m guessing you’d eat this salad with leaves of some kind? Can’t imagine a salad without lettuce!

Are low card diets still popular these days? I imagined eating a balanced and healthy diet and exercising regularly would be the most popular diet plan.

I don’t like onions, so I was happy to find that they were completely unnecessary to make this meal incredibly delicious. Yum!

i like making a veggie filled frittata and serving with a lemony, lightly dressed salad. that’s a lot like a quiche with side salad.

I have just started using my George Foreman Rotisserie. It is the best thing I have ever bought. I really suggest betting one.
Kara on Thu, 11th Feb 2010 8:57 am
I’m a sucker for tomato based salads, and this looks REALLY yummy. I bet it would be really good with pasta added to it too, even though that would defeat the purpose of it being low carb.
Will have to give this a try – thanks!
