Chickpea Salad
The recipe combines a small amount of red meat with a chickpea salad. Chickpeas are a great source of folate, iron, and magnesium. They can be a little higher in calories, so keep your serving size around 1/2 cup to equal approximately 135 calories.
The recipe is designed to serve two.
1. Grill 8 ounces of beef tenderloin and when cool, slice thinly and place four ounces on two separate plates.
2. Combine 1 can of rinsed low-sodium chickpeas with one diced roma tomato, 1/4 cup of diced red onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli and 1/3 cup of italian dressing.
3. Enjoy an easy to prepare mid-summer dinner!
Be well!
