Roasted Chickpea And Avocado Salad

We love a hearty, studded salad with a good dressing, and this one is just that. Chickpeas get roasted plain so that they have a real chance to dry and become extra crispy. If you have an air fryer, use it to cook your chickpeas for the ultimate crisp. The tahini ranch is a lightened-up dressing that is better than any bottle you could buy and makes this whole salad meal-worthy. It’s a perfect summer salad for lunch or a picnic!

Chickpeas

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Pat chickpeas dry with paper towels and arrange in a single layer on a small baking sheet. 
  2. Roast chickpeas until golden and dried out, about 35 minutes. 
  3. Transfer chickpeas to a medium bowl. Add oil, chili powder, and garlic powder and toss to combine; season with salt and black pepper.

Dressing

  1. In a medium bowl, stir yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and mustard. Stir in warm water, adding more water 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to loosen dressing to a pourable consistency.
