How to make?
Ingredients
1/3 cup tahini
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 clove garlic, crushed*
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2.5 cups cooked rice or other grain
15 oz. can chickpeas
4 oz. bag baby greens
2-3 small beets
2 zucchini
3 carrots
1 small red cabbage
1 avocado
1/2 bunch green onion
1/2 cup pepitas $1.56
Directions
Prepare the dressing by placing all the ingredients in a blender and puréeing until smooth. If you don't have a blender, mince the garlic, then whisk the ingredients together in a bowl. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use. Cool the cooked rice, if needed. Drain the can of chickpeas. Wash the beets, zucchini, and carrots well. Use a food processor or large-holed cheese grater to shred the beets, zucchini, and carrots. Remove any wilted leaves from the cabbage, then cut into quarters, and remove the core. Shred the cabbage using a food processor, or slice thinly with a knife. Slice the avocado and green onion. To build the bowls, place about 1/2 cup of the cooked rice in a bowl along with about 1/4 cup of chickpeas. Add a handful of baby greens, shredded beets, zucchini, carrots, and cabbage. Top with a few slices of avocado and a sprinkle of pepitas and sliced onion. Finally, drizzle the lemon tahini dressing liberally over the bowl, then eat.
