Ingredients

  • 12 ounces small broccoli florets (about 5 cups)
  • 1 (14 oz.) can chickpeas drained & rinsed
  • 1 large red bell pepper diced
  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds toasted in a dry skillet
  • 5 large mint leaves chopped
  • ¼ cup minced flat-leaf parsley
The dressing:
  • ¼ cup Tahini well-stirred
  • 1 ½ tablespoons agave nectar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove grated on a microplane/zester
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Add the chickpeas, bell pepper, carrot, green onions, almonds, mint and parsley. Stir to combine.
  3. Toss with the dressing. Serve.
The dressing:
  1. 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.
