3 teaspoons Mighty Sesame Tahini
salt
spices to taste (I used black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder. Other suggestions: Pereg Shawarma seasoning, turmeric, pepper flakes, za’atar)
freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 cups greens of choice (I like to mix kale and spring mix)
2 large portobello mushrooms, cut in chunks
1 small box sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 Japanese sweet potato, cubed
1 sweet potato, cubed (see note)
3 to 4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup walnuts
1 cup chickpeas
1/4 cup Rorie’s Creamy Dressing or store-bought mayonnaise
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 and 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
additional sea salt to taste
additional pepper to taste
if using mayo, add additional garlic powder and extra pepper to taste
Place a strainer over your sink. Empty chickpeas into the strainer. Rinse well and allow to drain completely.
Add tahini. Season with salt and your favorite spices. Add lemon juice.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a metal baking sheet with oil.
Bake chickpeas on 375 for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. (See note.)
Store in fridge. Enjoy over any salad or my absolute favorite option below!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a metal baking sheet lined with Gefen Parchment Paper.
Toss each type of mushroom with a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of coconut aminos or rice vinegar, and sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Spread on the prepared baking sheet.
For the Portobello mushrooms, roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Avoid allowing them to get too shriveled – you want that meaty mushroom feel.
For the shiitake mushrooms, roast until crispy, about 30 minutes.
(If you’d rather avoid the hassle, you can just roast both kinds of mushrooms together.)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare one to two metal baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Spread both kinds of sweet potato cubes across the baking sheets. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow for space between each piece. Spray with olive oil and season with sea salt to taste.
Roast at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 to 55 minutes. Toss once or twice during baking time.
Combine dressing ingredients until smooth.
Arrange salad components in a large bowl. Pour dressing over salad. Toss and enjoy immediately.
