Add to that quinoa or couscous, fresh cucumber and tomato, and top it all off with a creamy lemon tahini sauce. The flavor and texture contrasts make it so satisfying, and it’s a tried and true easy dinner idea in our house! It’s so full of flavor, you’ll forget it’s a pile of good-for-you ingredients (plus, it’s vegan and fits the Daniel Fast with one modification). Of course, there are endless variations here and you can riff on the ideas easily. Here’s what you’ll need to make the recipe as written:
Canned chickpeas: Chickpeas provide plant-based protein for this colorful bowl. Sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, and olive oil: Mix up these veggies and make them into a mix of roasted vegetables. Cumin, paprika, garlic powder, coriander, cinnamon, and salt: This Mediterranean-inspired spice mix adds depth to the roasted vegetables. Quinoa or couscous (or other grain): Add any whole grain you like to this hearty bowl. Cherry tomatoes and English cucumber: These fresh vegetables add tang and crunch. Salad greens: We used a mix of spring greens, but baby arugula or other greens also work. Lemon tahini dressing: Top it off with this creamy, zingy dressing.
Where to find tahini? You can find it in your local grocery store, many times in the international aisle. It is sometimes also located near the peanut butter and other nut butters. Try a squeeze bottle! Tahini is notoriously hard to measure out, but some brands have convenient squeeze bottles now that make thing easy.
