INGREDIENTS
85g Roasted Chickpeas
Approximately 1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa (60g)
25g Red Bell Pepper
25g Red Onion
30g Spinach
1 tsp Tahini
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Toss the chickpeas with a light sprinkle of salt and a dash of garlic powder. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the quinoa by cooking it according to package instructions if not already cooked, then measure about 1/3 cup cooked quinoa.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted chickpeas, cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, finely sliced red onion, and fresh spinach.
For the dressing, whisk together tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. If needed, add a teaspoon of water to achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the flavors. Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes for a refreshing taste.
