Chickpea Fattoush Salad
with feta / pita chips / creamy tahini dressing
We try not to play favorites with our entree salads, but this one always seems to hit the right balance of flavor and texture. We last featured it in 2019, and it gets high marks from our community for the flavorful spices in the chickpeas, the crunch from pita chips, and the creamy dressing.
Smarts: Crumble the pita chips over the salad right before serving so they retain some crunch.
