Ingredients:

Veggies & Chickpeas

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

½ cup shredded carrots

½ cup red bell pepper, diced

¼ cup red cabbage, thinly sliced

2 tbsp chopped green onions

Dressing

2 tbsp tahini

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

½ tsp red pepper flakes

½ tsp sesame oil

1 clove garlic, minced

Garnish

1 tbsp chopped peanuts

1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

½ tsp sesame seeds

 

Preparation:

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly.

Dice the red bell pepper, shred the carrots, and thinly slice the red cabbage and green onions.

Step 2: Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and minced garlic until smooth.

If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of water to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 3: Toss the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, shredded carrots, diced bell pepper, sliced red cabbage, and chopped green onions.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 4: Add the Garnishes

Sprinkle the salad with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy as a light lunch or a side dish with grilled chicken, tofu, or fish.

Pair with warm pita bread or naan for a more filling meal.

Add avocado slices or crumbled feta cheese for extra creaminess and flavor.

Tips for Success:

Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap or add other veggies like cucumber, spinach, or cherry tomatoes.

Make It Ahead: This salad is great for meal prep. Store the dressing separately and toss just before serving to keep the veggies crisp.

Adjust the Spice: Add more or less red pepper flakes depending on your spice preference.

Vegan Option: Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the recipe vegan-friendly.
