Chickpea and Tahini Salad

I really needed to use up some of that tahini in my fridge, and this recipe was perfect. It has a really unique, earthy taste. Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipe! A rare 5 star review from me. Very simple and easy to prepare and I have nearly everything in my pantry already. Anything I don't have is fresh an inexpensive. This is a definite keeper, one I've made several times already.

So yummy! I had chick peas and tahini in the pantry and didn't know what to do with either, then found this recipe which was ideal and very delicious.

Made almost as written except I added the garlic with the beans and onions and subbed sun dried tomatoes for fresh (ever buy a tomato in February? Yuck.) Served over very fresh watercress leaves from our local farmer's market. Made for Best of 2012.

Delicious, quick and easy. As others have noted, this has a strong onion flavour. I enjoy it, but I would suggest that anyone with less love for onion reduce it. I used parsley instead of coriander and added some harissa-style hot sauce to the dressing.

Seriously quick and easy. I used fresh mint but dried ground corriander. And I used a yellow onion instead of red because I had it on hand. An absolutely wonderful recipe!!! Thanks!

I made this to share with a vegan friend and we both enjoyed it. I used a bit less onion and loved the flavor from the herbs. I also enjoyed this the next day and it was equally good. Thank you Jewelies.

I really liked this chickpea and tahini salad! I made it ahead and had it chill overnight and the flavors tasted wonderful the next day. I did add a dash of Braggs Liquid Aminos, but otherwise followed the recipe as is. Made for make my recipe tag.

Delicious! I made this exactly as written, and there isn't much I would change next time around (I may use less red onion next time, but my onion was pretty big). I love the flavor of the fresh mint in this. We also used this salad in sandwiches with pita bread. Yum!

I was looking for something that I could whip up using items in my pantry to take to a BBQ on short notice; this fit the bill! I used half of a red onion, 1 very large tomato and the zest and juice of one lemon, didn't have any coriander leaves so left those out. I was surprised that this went over so well at the BBQ (my DP's are almost fearful of vegetarian/organic food), but they gobbled this right up without even noticing the tahini (which I'm sure they've never had before). I used the full amount and I thought it was just right!

I thought this was pretty good. My boyfriend, not so much. Eh more for me. I liked the hint of mint in it, but thought the 3 Tablespoons of Tahini to be too much, I might try 1 Tbsp Tahini and 2 Tbsp Yogart next time. Thanks Jewelies

How easy is this? As easy as it is delicious! Didn't change a thing except to add some lemon zest along with the lemon juice (I'm not going to let the peel on that juiced lemon go to waste!).

Quite tasty salad and quite different to anything we ever had! Enjoyed the mix of mint and tahini but thought it was missing something - maybe more lemon juice or some pepper? Thanks Jewelies!

We really enjoyed this salad. Love chickpeas and the dressing was light and delicious. Made this for ZWT3.

We liked this a lot. I ran out of tahini prior to preparing this and couldn't find any more since the store I usually buy it from closed, so I used a little sesame oil instead and combined that with the dressing ingredients. I went with the other reviewers and chopped the onions, mostly so that DBF would eat them and not leave a bowl of onions for me to clean up. I think I would like to find a way to make this a more substantial salad so that I could make it a meal, so I will be experimenting in the future. It could be as simple as spooning the mixture over some lettuce! Thanks Jewelies!

Loved this salad! Great flavours and my whole family loves chickpeas, so I knew this would be a winner. Left the water out of the dressing as I stuffed this into warmed whole-wheat pita breads. This is one of those 'recipes' that makes me feel good at so many different levels while eating it.

Very good! We'll definitely make this again. I added more garlic than was called for, and added a half-teaspoon of salt. I also think I'll chop the red onion next time, rather than simply slice it -- I'm a messy eater, and I find that the dressing tends to spatter off the long onion slices. Loved the flavor!

This is excellent. I love chick peas and I'm always pleased to find yummy new ways to use them. I used chopped onion as suggested by another reviewer and I had to use dried mint but it was still lovely. This will be a perfect summer meal. It's very fresh tasting and healthy, I seasoned with a bit of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. This is a keeper.
