Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1–2 tbsp water (to thin the dressing, if needed)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1 Step
    Prepare the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, and mint (if using). If adding feta cheese, gently fold it in at the end.
  2. 2 Step
    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup or honey, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
  3. 3 Step
    Assemble the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. 4 Step
    Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for the flavors to meld.
