Chickpea Fattoush Salad
with feta / pita chips / creamy tahini dressing
We've included several versions of fattoush in previous meal plans but love this version that includes avocado and warm, spiced chickpeas. What makes fattoush stand out from other entree salads is the addition of pita chips. Crumble them over the salad right before serving so they retain some crunch - the texture contrast is great!
