GREEN GARBANZO, RADISH, AND CHAYOTE SALAD

The first time I bought green garbanzos at the Pro’s Ranch Market in Albuquerque, I looked online for

information and found out they’re mixed with chile and lime in Mexico and called guisana. Because

chayote and radishes are also commonly mixed with chile and lime I decided to put them all together in a

salad and the results were wonderful. You can substitute frozen shelled edamame in this recipe if you can’t

find green garbanzo beans.

Serves 6

½ c. shelled green garbanzo beans

1 chayote, peeled, seeded, sliced into quarters lengthwise and thinly sliced

1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced

Chile Garlic Dressing:

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

3 Tbsp. lime juice

1 ½ tsp. red chile powder (not chili powder), such as Chimayo

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ tsp. salt or to taste

In a small saucepan, cover green garbanzo beans with water and simmer over medium heat for five

minutes. Drain well.

In a serving bowl mix chayote, radishes, and green garbanzo beans. In a small bowl, whisk together all

dressing ingredients.  Pour over vegetables and mix well. This dish can be made in advance and chilled

several hours beforehand as the chayote and radishes will not wilt.
