Chopped Broccoli and Chickpea Salad
Chopped Broccoli and Chickpea Salad combines crisp broccoli florets with chickpeas, bell pepper, celery, red onion, and almonds for texture and freshness. Crumbled goat cheese adds creaminess, while a lemon tahini dressing blends tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, and spices to provide a tangy and mildly sweet coating, balancing the savory salad components.
