Fumbling Toward Culinary Talent: Garbanzo and Black Bean Salad

You would think people who truck in the English language, especially foodies who like to call concoctions "compotes" and such, would come up with a better name than "salad" to describe a mixture of beans and veggies, but here I am, providing a repipe for a bean-based salad. 

I went to Aldi's after work and saw a bean salad, so I decided to make one of my own. I like garbanzos and black beans. So here you go. 

Ingredients

1 can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed

1 small bell pepper, chopped finely

1 bunch of green onions, whites chopped finely

1-2 tablespoons of minced garlic

1 handful of fresh cilantro, chopped finely

Smidge of rice vinegar 

Salt and pepper to taste

Process

Drain and rinse the beans. Once fairly dry, dump them into a bowl and add the bell pepper, scallions, garlic, cilantro, and a little bit of vinegar. Salt and pepper to your desired level of seasoning.
