It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


Garbanzo beans, green onion, red onion, and chopped tomatoes are tossed with a simple white wine vinegar dressing.


Dressing
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Salad
1 can (15 ounce size) garbanzo beans, drained
4 green onion, chopped
1 red onion, finely sliced
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
torn lettuce
salt and pepper, as needed
Combine the oregano, lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil in a jar with a lid. Shake well.
Place the garbanzo beans, green onion, and red onion in a bowl. Pour the dressing over the beans and mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Gently stir the tomatoes and lettuce into the bean mixture. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This is such a great but simple salad recipe. Brent loves garbanzos so I'm always looking for new ways to serve them. I especially liked the addition of lettuce.
