No Fridge Lunch Box Solution: Cucumber Pesto Chicpea Salad


Has your summer garden or neighbor been overflowing with cucumbers and basil?  Do you need light lunch that requires no refrigerator and can be prepped way ahead of time? This salad is the perfect solution. 

Ingredients
1 cup ready Garbanzo Beans aka Chicpeas 
1 Cucumber (English preferable)
2 TBS Pesto (home made is fine)
1 TSP Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions
Cut cup Cucumbers to half moons or full circles (your preference).  In bowl put in your Garbanzo beans and Pesto.  Stir lightly so beans get coated with Pesto mixture.  Then toss in your cucumbers and lightly drizzle Olive Oil.  Then Salt and Pepper to taste.  And your done!!!!!!!


I love this recipe because its low fat, healthy, you can make big batch and proportion servings into your tupperware for the week and leave in fridge till your ready.  You don't even have to follow my measurements, just go with your taste.  If you do have fridge and access to microwave, you can carry little tupperware of Chicken to heat separately and then later add in to this salad.
