Summer is still here and salads are my go to meals this time of year!
This green salad with protein packed chickpeas and simple lemon tahini dressing has been my savior when I want a quick and easy salad. It’s so simple and needed to be added to the recipe collection.
This was just one of those salads that I threw together in a pinch while cleaning the fridge and tasted delicious. Since then, I’ve made it again and again. So, here it is for you to play with as is or make it your own by adding anything that sounds good to you!
It’s really a great little salad that’s easy, breezy vegan!

This salad is saving my life these days. When I have a hellaciously busy week on the horizon I make a vat of it, separate into servings and live on it. Best dressing ever!

This sounds delicious! The dressing gives a nice little extra touch to the fruit. I have always made my fruit salad plain, I am definitely going to try it with this easy dressing :) fruit salad recipe.
