===Ingredients===
  * 1 green bell pepper, diced and blanched
  * 1 red bell pepper, diced and blanched

  * 1 cup diced sweet yellow onion
  * 2 15-oz cans garbanzo/chickpea beans, drained
  * 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  * 1/4 cup olive oil
  * 1 tsp ground cumin
  * salt and pepper
  * 3 cloves garlic, minced

===Technique===
  - Core and seed the peppers.  Place the peppers in a small bowl with a little water, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and blanch in a microwave on high for approximately 90 seconds.  Let the peppers cool, and dice them when they are cool enough to handle.
  - Combine the peppers, onion, and garbanzo beans in a non-metallic bowl.  Use a blender to combine the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic.  Pour the dressing over the garbanzo bean mixture, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour or more to let the beans absorb flavor.  Serving the chilled salad on a fresh lettuce leaf looks nice.
