I have made more than my share of dessert recipes using strawberries, but I also like including them in salads where they can provide a fresh contrast to other ingredients. This dish is one I made recently when I happened upon a really good pint of berries in the store.

I recommend using garbanzo beans (I love them in everything!), but feel free to use whatever bean you have on hand. Also, I find that it’s best to keep the dressing simple so that the fresh flavors of the other ingredients can shine through.
