Here’s a salad that we had with dinner last night. The Asian-style dressing is the same one that I put on sliced cucumbers all summer long. It is just as yummy in this salad that includes zucchini, avocado and garbanzo beans.

Instructions
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then into thin slices. Peel carrots and and then cut into tiny julienne strips. Cube the avocados and tomatoes and toss with the juice from the lime. Combine all these ingredients, including the garbanzo beans, in a salad bowl.

Yummy! Looks and sounds delicious! I will definitely add this to my menu. I do get a bit tired of lettuce and spinach salads even though they are super quick. I’d like to mix it up a bit.
