Instructions

Chickpea Croutons

1. Place chickpeas on a nonstick baking sheet. I like to use silicone baking sheets on my pan to make clean-up easier. Spray with coconut oil spray, season with seasoning blend and bake at 420 for 25 minutes.

Tahini Dressing

1. Add all ingredients into a small dish or bowl and whisk ingredients together with a fork until smooth.

2. You can add water or more lemon juice if you want a thinner consistency.

Salad

1. Peel and dice cucumber. Slice cherry tomatoes into halves.

2. In a large bowl, mix together spring mix, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, and roasted chickpeas. Drizzle tahini dressing on top and enjoy!
