How to Make Mediterranean Chickpea Salad With Lemon Tahini

Total time: 15 min · Yields 4 servings

1. 1

   Whisk the Dressing

   In a small bowl, combine tahini, lemon juice, sweetener, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Slowly add warm water one tablespoon at a time until the texture is creamy and pourable.

2. 2

   Combine Vegetables

   In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, and sliced olives.

3. 3

   Incorporate Herbs and Cheese

   Add the fresh chopped parsley and crumbled feta to the bowl. Fold gently to avoid breaking up the feta too much.

4. 4

   Dress the Salad

   Drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over the salad base. Use large spoons to toss everything until the chickpeas and vegetables are evenly coated.

5. 5

   Chill and Serve

   Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the fridge, to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and add a final squeeze of lemon if needed before serving.
