Garbanzo Bean Salad

Yesterday, for lunch, I made garbanzo bean salad, and it tasted fabulous.  What was even better was that this salad seems to maintain my blood sugar levels.  Not just once, but twice I had this salad and my blood sugar levels were lower than they normally are after a meal.  

Here is what I threw together for this salad:

1 can garbanzo beans, drained
1 can black olives, drained and chopped
1-2 celery sticks, chopped
1-2 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp ground red pepper (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp mayonnaise

I would have also added radishes and onions if they had been available at the time.

Here is a picture:


It was so fresh, crunchy, and delicious.
