Vegan Garbanzo Bean and Artichoke Salad

Submitted by From A to Vegan

"This is a very easy and high-protein salad that is great as a side dish or even as an entree. Sauteing the garbanzo beans in a wok brings out their nutty flavor, almonds add crunch, parsley and artichokes round out the dish. This salad can be served hot, warm or cold. Makes one meal or four side salads."
