Really yummy and nice change from a typical salad. I feel like next time I want to add some lemon zest to the dressing to add oomph.
0 HelpfulI could eat this salad every week. LOVE the tahini dressing. We just seasoned the chick peas with smoked paprika instead of za'atar, because I'm cheap and lazy, but it was still great!
0 HelpfulHusband loved this meal. I have a sensitive tongue and had to put ice on it after this meal. I'm not sure if it was the seasoning on the chickpeas or the dressing. It was a great flavor and we did love it though!
0 HelpfulDelicious with added roasted veg and tucked into warm pita with hummus. Loved the tahini, honey and lemon dressing. Made my own za'atar spice mix. Filling and nutritious without feeling heavy which made leftovers perfect for lunches. (Skipped the quinoa as it was supposed to be left over from a meal I didn't make.)
