Chickpeas, Tomato, Red Onion, Pepper and Yogurt Dressing
"This wonderful combination recipe is light but also high in protein. A great balanced arrangement of vegetables and protein.
Since I have high cholesterol and blood pressure I have taken the time to try and balance all the food groups in this meal. You can eat it as a side dish or in combination with additional vegetables.
What I also love about this recipe is that the "Yogurt Dressing" I pour oven my fish when I bake it. Yummy!"
