Crispy Chickpea Salad with Za'atar-Tahini Dressing

Meal Prep Salad

Hey gang!

This week’s meal prep salad is loaded with spiced & roasted chickpeas, shredded Brussels sprouts, pomegranate seeds, and is tossed in a super simple but flavor PACKED creamy tahini dressing.

I love to eat this one just as a salad but it’s actually great when tossed into some pita pockets smeared with Greek yogurt along with a little seared chicken or halloumi cheese.

Macros along with low-calorie & high-protein versions are at the bottom of this post.

I hope you enjoy!
