Crispy Chickpea Salad with Lemon-Dill Dressing
Inspired by the "Ozempic-inspired" fullness salad, this version is packed with fiber, protein, and hydrating ingredients.
Ingredients
For the Crispy Chickpeas:
• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and thoroughly dried
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp each of garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt
For the Salad:
• 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 avocado, diced
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
For the Lemon-Dill Dressing:
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
• ¼ tsp salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Make the Crispy Chickpeas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil and spices until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.
2. Assemble the Salad: While the chickpeas roast, combine the sliced cucumber, diced avocado, cilantro, and green onions in a large bowl.
3. Prepare the Dressing: In a small jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, water, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Shake well until emulsified.
4. Combine and Serve: Once the chickpeas are ready, add them to the salad bowl while they're still warm. Drizzle with the dressing, toss gently, and serve immediately to enjoy the perfect crunch.
Why This Salad is a Great Choice
• Promotes Fullness: The combination of fiber from chickpeas and healthy fats from avocado helps you feel satisfied and supports digestion.
• Hydrating & Refreshing: Cucumber has a high water content, making this salad light and refreshing.
• Packed with Nutrients: It's loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the fresh vegetables and herbs.
Pro-Tip: For an extra crispy texture, you can use an air fryer for the chickpeas. Cook them at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15
