Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chickpeas, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are lightly browned and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
- 2
While chickpeas are cooking, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, water, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. If too thick, add a tiny bit more water until it reaches a pourable consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3
In a large bowl, combine fresh spinach, red onion, cucumber, parsley, and mint.
- 4
Divide the spinach and vegetable mixture between two bowls. Top each with half of the spiced chickpeas.
- 5
Drizzle generously with the tahini lemon dressing. If desired, add cooked quinoa or brown rice to each bowl for a more substantial meal.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
