- 2 hearts of Romaine lettuce, shredded (about 7 cups)
- 1/2 English cucumber, quartered and sliced
- 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
For the dressing:
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons water

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- One 15-ounce can of no-salt-added chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
To Prepare the Chickpea and Tahini Salad
- Toss the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and onion together in a large bowl.
- To make the dressing, stir the tahini, water, lemon juice together in a small bowl until creamy. Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper.
- To make the chickpeas, combine the cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then dry them as thoroughly as possible by placing them on top of paper towel in a bowl and patting them dry with additional paper towel. Remove and discard any skins that fall off, but don’t worry about getting them all. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over a medium-high heat, add the chickpeas and cook, shaking or stirring occasionally until they have crisped and become lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the spice mixture and toss to coat, then transfer the chickpeas to a plate.
- Add the dressing to the salad and toss to combine, then toss in the chickpeas.
- Evenly divide onto 4 serving plate. Enjoy!
