This salad is quite versatile with the base. You can use mixed greens, kale, arugula or spinach as seen here. Dark leafy greens are a great replacement to lettuce, being that they are more nutrient dense. Dark leafy greens are important for skin, hair, and bone health. They’re loaded with nutrients and low in calories. I threw in dried cranberries and pomegranates for a touch of added sweetness against the crisp spinach and smooth, earthy garbanzo beans. Feel free to add lean proteins to this dish to create a meal that is more hearty rather than a side dish.
Combine spinach, garbanzo beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds, and scallions in a bowl.
Combine tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, honey and whisk together well.
Add za’taar and salt to taste. Mix well.
