This Crispy Chili Lime Chickpea Salad is the perfect combination of textures - crispy roasted chickpeas, crunchy fresh veggies, and all brought together with a creamy tahini lime dressing and avocado slices! The chili cumin flavors have the right amount of kick, while the tangy lime balances it all out. Every bite of this crispy chickpea salad is so delicious and full of flavor!
Drain and pat the chickpeas dry, then toss in the avocado oil.
Mix with chili powder, cumin, and sea salt.
Place the chickpeas flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast for about 20 minutes, or until crispy, turning halfway through.
While the chickpeas are roasting, layer the spinach, sliced tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and avocado slices in each salad bowl (or one large bowl).
Whisk the tahini, lime juice, honey, and salt together until smooth.
Add the crispy roasted chickpeas to the salad bowls and drizzle with tahini dressing.
Enjoy!
