Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp tahini (60 g)
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp water (plus more as needed)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the tahini, fresh lemon juice, water, maple syrup, garlic powder, and sea salt in a bowl. Begin with 3 tablespoons of water and mix until smooth. Gradually add more water until you reach a creamy yet pourable consistency.
  2. In a large mixing bowl or individual serving bowls, add 2 cups of mixed salad greens.
  3. Finely slice about 4 cups of red cabbage and distribute about 1 cup over each bowl of greens.
  4. Sprinkle approximately 1 cup of dried cranberries or raisins over your salad greens and red cabbage.
  5. Drain and rinse your chickpeas and add half a cup to each serving. Gently fold in 2 cups of fresh blueberries.
  6. Sprinkle around 12 tablespoons of hemp seeds over each salad.
  7. Drizzle a generous amount of tahini dressing over each serving.
