Instructions
- Place the broccoli florets in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until the broccoli is the size of grains of rice. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the chickpeas, bell pepper, carrot, green onions, almonds, mint and parsley. Stir to combine.
- Toss with the dressing. Serve.
The dressing:
- In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, agave nectar, lemon juice, garlic and salt. Whisk in the water, using enough to achieve desired consistency.
Notes
- One issue with making this salad ahead of time is that it soaks up the dressing like a sponge, so you don’t get that great tahini flavor a few days later. If you aren’t serving the salad right away, I suggest making extra dressing to toss with the salad right before serving.
