But just in case you haven’t gotten that message loud and clear yet, I have another shawarma-inspired recipe that’s healthy, super flavorful, crowd-pleasing, and comes together in just 30 minutes. You in? Since making my Chickpea Shawarma Sandwich, I’ve been craving it just about every day. But sometimes, you want something heavier on the greens, and less bread-y. This is the recipe for those instances. I season chickpeas with a smattering of shawarma spices (learn about the origins of shawarma and try our DIY Shawarma Spice Blend here)! and bake them until crispy. While that’s happening, chop up your salad and add to a mixing bowl. Top with pita chips (homemade or store-bought), prepare your 4-ingredient Garlic Dill Sauce, and you’re ready to go. This salad is everything I love in a meal. It’s: HealthyFlavorfulFillingVegetable-heavyProtein-packedSimpleFresh& Delicious This would be the perfect weeknight meal when you don’t have a lot of time but want something healthy and satisfying (nearly 20 grams protein per serving!). It would be especially great for hosting family or friends that aren’t plant-based, because it’s so flavorful and filling they won’t miss the meat at all. And if you store leftovers separately, it remains fresh for days, which makes it great for weekday lunches. Double win. If you give this recipe a try, let us know!
