Ingredients
For the Tahini Maple Dressing
- 4 tbsp tahini (60 g)
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 tbsp as water, plus more as needed
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste
For the Chickpea Salad
- 8 heaping cups of mixed salad greens, arugula or baby spinach (2 cups per salad)
- 4 cups very finely sliced red cabbage (1 cup per salad)
- 1 cup dried cranberries or raisins (1/4 cup per salad)
- 12 tbsp hemp seeds (3 tbsp per salad, substitute walnuts)
- 19 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (1/2 cup per salad)
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (1/2 cup per salad)
Instructions
- To make the tahini dressing, whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. Start with 3 tbsp water and slowly add more as needed until it’s thick and creamy but pourable.
- I like to make this salad as individual servings but you can also make it in one large mixing and then divide it between 4 servings. To make as individual portions, start with a bed of 2 cups of greens in each bowl. Top each with equal amounts of the rest of the ingredients.
- Top each with a generous drizzle of the tahini dressing.
- Serve and enjoy!
