Garbanzo Bean and Tomato Salad

Fresh summer tomatoes, garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas),
hard boiled eggs, and sweet onions, tossed with a light vinaigrette.
Here are the makings of a surprisingly delicious summer salad.

Ingredients:
2 15-ounce cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
4 tomatoes (about 2 lbs.), cored and chopped
4 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
2 cups of chopped sweet onion
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 Tbsp of white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:
Combine the garbanzo beans, tomatoes, eggs, and onion in a large bowl.
Separately mix the dressing ingredients in a jar or a small bowl,
olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Pour over salad ingredients.
Sprinkle on chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
