Roasted Cauliflower And Chickpea Salad With Tzatziki
We cannot have enough of these sheet meals! They are so easy and simple to make and they leave no mess. It is easy to modify too. Don’t have chickpeas? Use lentils, rice or beans! And you can use any veggies you want. Here’s what you will need for this recipe (2-3 servings):
- small to medium cauliflower cauliflower,
- Spread’em Kitchen Garlic Tzatziki
- 1 avocado
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained (or 3/4 cups of dried chickpeas, cooked)
- a small handful of cherry tomatoes, cut in halves
- a handful of salad greens
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp of lemon juice
- optional – this salad will taste great with tzatziki and some tahini dressing. If you want to add tahini dressing as well we like to use this creamy tahini dressing recipe.
