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!
