Enjoy a refreshing, crunchy salad featuring crispy chickpeas and fluffy quinoa tossed with vibrant red bell pepper and cucumber. Elevated by a zesty lemon tahini dressing, this balanced lunch offers a wonderful mix of textures and flavors while staying light and energizing.
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup Chickpeas
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, diced
1/4 cup Cucumber, diced
1/3 tablespoon Tahini
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. For a crispier texture, spread them on a baking sheet and lightly roast in a preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the roasted chickpeas with the cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, and diced cucumber.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together tahini and fresh lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, adding a small splash of water if needed to achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency.
Pour the lemon tahini dressing over the salad and gently toss together until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Serve immediately for the best texture, enjoying the mix of warm, crispy chickpeas with the cool vegetables and tangy dressing.
