"This is an easy, healthy salad that is a great side dish to BBQ chicken, beef or fish! It can also be easily adapted to a Tex-Mex style by changing the lemon to lime, parsley to cilantro and adding ground cumin and/or chili powder! Be sure to add the lemon zest (or lime zest) as this really adds a ZING to the salad!"

1 (15.5 ounce) can Garbanzo beans, drained/rinsed

1 (15 ounce) can Kidney beans, drained/rinsed

1 Lemon, zested and juiced

1 Medium tomato, chopped

1/2 cup Chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon Capers, rinsed and drained

3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon Salt, or to taste
