Caesar Salad, Tahini Dressing and Roasted Chickpeas

Sometimes, you just crave a good Caesar salad. It’s so creamy and salty! There is something comforting about it and here is my recipe with a twist—a healthier version, but still indulgent!

Caesar Salad, Tahini Dressing and Roasted Chickpeas

You can also add chicken or salmon if you want a more filling meal.

Why We Love This Salad So Much:

  • Easy to make: you just have to grill the chickpeas. I like to cook them in advance, that way this salad will take you only 20 minutes to make. For the tahini dressing, we’re using a blender where we just throw in all the ingredients together.
  • Crunchy: thanks to the roasted chickpeas.
  • Salty: we’re adding some Parmesan cheese and some capers.
  • Creamy: our homemade dressing is made with tahini and Greek yogurt … so much creaminess!

4 Tips to Perfect This Recipe:

  1. Massage the kale: we love incorporating the dressing and mixing the salad with our hands. For less chewing and a more enjoyable texture, make sure you remove the rod and finely slice the kale. Then, with your hands, press firmly the kale to incorporate it.
  2. Use ripe avocado: we want a tender avocado that mixes well with the rest of the salad.
  3. Don’t be afraid to put too much dressing, it’s the key to a good salad!
  4. Keep it in the fridge: this salad will last for up to 5 days, but make sure you place it in the fridge without the dressing on it.
