Well, My Vegetarian House has been out of touch for more than one month!  But, we have celebrated the perfect wedding for a perfectly matched couple. We wish them a life filled with happiness.

When everyone is going to eat grilled fish, how does the vegetarian get a good protein source for dinner? Look in your cupboard to see if you have ingredients for Greek Garbanzo Bean Salad.  Amazingly, I had most of the ingredients [except for the black olives] for this recipe that I found on www.allrecipes.com.  I  used olive oil instead of the Italian dressing to provide a more natural taste.  Try this out on a warm summer evening, such as tonight! Enjoy!
