Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 3 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • 3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 TBSP white vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt (plus extra, to taste as needed)
  • 1/8 tsp dill (fresh or dried)
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp fresh minced garlic
  • 2 cups chickpeas ((canned or cooked from dried))
  • 1/4-1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro (plus extra to garnish)
  • 1 large english cucumber ((spiralized))
  • 1/2 english cucumber, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely minced onion
  • 2-3 extra large carrots
  • 2 TBSP honey
  • 2 TBSP rice vinegar
  • 1/2-1 TBSP sesame seeds
  • 1/2-1 TBSP chia seeds

Instruction

  • Combine lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, dill, salt, and minced garlic and whisk to emulsify.
  • In a medium bowl add chickpeas, minced onion, chopped bell pepper, chopped cucumber, and cilantro.
  • Pour in dressing and mix thoroughly. The longer you allow them to marinate the more intense the flavor will be!
  • Next, using a spiralizer or tool of choice (see post for options) curl one english cucumber and 2-3 large carrots (the biggest, thickest carrots you can find) into raw spiral noodles.
  • Whisk together 2 tablespoons of honey with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and pour over salad.
  • Top with extra chopped cilantro and a hearty sprinkle of sesame and chia seeds. If you're adding chopped nuts, toss those babies on top too and have at it!
