So Easy It Doesn't Require a Recipe Warm Tomato and Bean Salad

This is single person food. You want to eat, you don't feel like cooking just for you, and you don't do frozen crap (at least not today).

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes (or two medium tomatoes, diced)...hell you can used diced canned if it is winter time and the tomatoes suck!)
1 can garbanzo beans, drained
a handful of whatever fresh herb you like...oregano, basil, or parsley

Heat the oil over med-low heat. Add the garlic and stir for a few minutes until you can REALLY smell it softening. Add the tomatoes and turn up the heat to med-high, cook another 3 or 4 minutes. Add the drained beans and throw in whatever herbs you like. As soon as it's heated through, take it off the heat.

Toss a little sea salt on top and eat standing up or watching a late night movie. This is enough for four people as a side dish, but only enough for one if you eat it standing up out of the pot.

Enjoy!
