Herbed Chickpea-Broccoli Salad with Tahini-Lemon Dressing

Ingredients

  • 3 medium heads broccoli, stems removed and heads cut into florets (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas, rinsed and well drained
  • 1 cup dill sprigs
  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley sprigs
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon tamari
  • 1/2 clove garlic, crushed
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Roast the broccoli: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add the broccoli florets, oil and a large pinch of salt to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toss to combine, and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, stir and roast until the broccoli is browning, 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven, and set aside to cool.
  2. Make the dressing: Add the tahini and 3 tablespoons water to a small bowl, and stir until smooth. Add the lemon juice, vinegar, tamari and garlic, stir to combine and season with salt to taste.
  3. Assemble the salad: Add the roasted broccoli, chickpeas, dill, parsley and cilantro to a large bowl, and toss to combine. Divide between 2 bowls, drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
