Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant and filling lunch featuring protein-rich chickpeas, sweet roasted peppers, and a zingy lemon-tahini dressing that ties it all together.
Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and honey in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water.
Tahini thickness varies by brand, so adjust with water as needed for a pourable consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced roasted red peppers, red onion, and fresh parsley.
Pat the roasted peppers dry before dicing to keep the salad from getting soggy.
Pour the dressing over the chickpea mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure every ingredient is coated.
Tossing gently helps keep the chickpeas whole and the herbs vibrant.
Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and season with a pinch of black pepper. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Save a little parsley and feta to sprinkle on top right before eating for a fresh look!
This is a great meal prep option! The flavors actually get better after sitting for an hour, making it perfect for office lunches. If you want a bit of crunch, toss in some toasted pine nuts right before serving. For a vegan version, simply omit the feta. Healthy made easy!
