Chickpea salad with tahini dressing

I've been looking to add more protein to my vegetarian diet, without resorting to paneer or tofu. Beans and lentils are a good option, so I made myself a chickpea salad for lunch at the office. But I was tired of the regular olive oil dressing and decided to try out tahini sauce which I love, and which adds to the protein content anyway. Turns out it's a marriage made in heaven!

Chickpea salad:
Half cup boiled chick peas
Half cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Handful of lettuce leaves, washed and torn
Capsicum - quarter each of green, red and yellow, diced
Spring onion - 1, along with the greens, chopped fine
1 Kakdi, cut into half vertically and sliced

Tahini dressing:
Half cup hung curd
Half cup regular curd
1 tablespoon tahini
1-2 green chillies
Pinch of salt
1 tsp sugar/ honey

Grind together all the ingredients - except the regular curd. Taste to ensure a balance between salt and sweet. Just before serving, mix the regular curd with the rest of the dressing and pour over the salad. Mix well and enjoy with a virtuous halo of wellness!

You could use sprouted chickpea for higher nutrition and protein and in general more 'life' ��

Steeping dried leaves and drinking tea dates back thousands of years. It is thought to originate in China, where it was used medicinally. Today, people drink tea for many reasons, including its taste, stimulating, or calming properties, and health benefits. One popular herbal tea is nettle tea.
