One question which i always ask myself when i sit down to have my meal is, "Where is my protein"? It means i always make sure that i am having a fair amount of proteins in my diet. Now, as i am allergic to egg, i cannot include egg in my diet and believe me, egg to me is the wonderful, easy to make and cheapest source of protein. But alas, i cannot have that. So, i always try to look out for some easy to make protein-rich recipes, which i can quickly make and have to replenish my fair share of protein.
I have seen the recipe of this dressing somewhere i am not able to recollect, but i thought it would be amazing to try this out and ever since i was looking for the chance to use this dressing in any of my salad because as you all know, peanut butter is my favourite. The other day i got this chance. I was left with some boiled garbanzo beans and i gave it a try. Boy, it turned out excellent. The perfect combination of the tastes and aroma made it mouth-watering.
To feel the actual taste, you have to try it on your own. So, let me describe this protein-rich mouth-watering recipe now.
