Fattoush Salad with Pan-Fried Chickpeas
and creamy tahini dressing
With the balance of creamy dressing, warm chickpeas, and crunch from chips crumbled over top right at the end, fattoush salads are a favorite among our community members. This version that was last featured in 2021 includes avocados for another creamy, flavorful element.
Smarts: Pita chips are classic in fattoush, but we find that tortilla chips achieve the same crunchy result and are much easier to find in a gluten-free version. Feel free to use any gluten-free chips you like.
