Calling all tahini lovers! This salad starts with a fresh, crisp base and is topped with a hearty, creamy, zesty and garlicky tahini dressing. To make it more satisfying, we've added seasoned chickpeas, all roasted in the air fryer for a bit of crunch. With its Middle Eastern flair, this salad is light yet filling.

This was so delicious!! The dressing was reminiscent of a hummus dressing. Loved the combination of all these ingredients. I paired it with some zaatar roasted potatoes too!

Mmm zaatar roasted potatoes sound delicious! So happy to hear, Apoorva 🤗
Good, I added some pasta, the dressing reminds me a bit of the pasta salad with dild and tahini dressing - but I also love that dressing, so that's fine. Maybe it's because I didn't realise you guys used a different kind of tahini.

This dressing is soooo good. I think this is my new favourite salad, although I love the Caesar too and the lentil….

Wow, this was AMAAAAZING!!! SO refreshing, crunchy, fresh, zingy -- all the things!
And I typically do NOT like salads, so this was amazing to experience! I hope to explore(and enjoy!!) more of PULs salads this summer 🌞🥰
Note: Added cilantro and mint to it as well :)

The Omega-6's seem to be overloaded tho :/ 1) is this coming from primarily the olives? 2) is it cause for concern if I see this happening quite frequently in my daily nutrients on the app?

So happy to hear it was a hit, Preethi!💚 Cilantro and mint sound like perfect additions.
For the omega-6s: the tahini is the main contributor aside from the other oils. While omega-6s are essential, consistently high intakes without enough omega-3s may not be optimal. It’s not always a concern, but being mindful is helpful if you’re seeing this pattern often! You can help balance things out by adding more omega-3-rich foods like ground flax, chia seeds, hemp seeds, or walnuts to your meals. Aside from food, a microalgae supplement that offers 200 to 300 mg of EPA and DHA two to three times per week can also help optimize omega-3 levels ✨

I made 4 portions for work lunch as meal prep! Very delicious!
La sauce est délicieuse. Je l'ai aussi utilisé pour accompagner des bowls simples (céréales, légumes crus et cuits et tvp) cela fonctionne très bien !
