INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup canned chickpeas (drained, rinsed)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup shelled edamame (cooked)
1 oz crumbled feta cheese
2 cups mixed greens (spinach & arugula)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Dressing: 1 tsp tahini, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spread the canned chickpeas on a baking sheet, drizzle with a tiny splash of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and any herbs you like. Roast for about 20 minutes until they are crispy.
While the chickpeas roast, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.
Add the cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, and shelled edamame to the bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad.
For the lemon tahini dressing, whisk together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad, gently toss to combine all the ingredients, and serve immediately.
