Packed with delicious Mediterranean flavors, this vegan yet creamy beet salad has good serving of gluten-free chickpeas. Sweetness of beets, hearty chickpeas, and creamy vegan tahini dressing and not to miss, a little bit of shallots here and there make each bite very satisfying.

Creamy Tahini dressing is very versatile. I always make a large portion of this dressing, and serve it with pita-flafal wraps or with potato fries.

Salad comes together pretty fast. You can roast beets instead of boiling if you are in hurry. Often, I soak dried chickpeas in water overnight and then pressure cook'em next day to make this salad. However, canned chickpeas work great too. All depends on time available. If you pre-plan this salad, I sure recommend boiling chickpeas at home.

Ingredients

Creamy Tahini Dressing
Chickpeas and Beets Salad
Smart Swap: You can also use yellow beets or seasonal rainbow beets instead of red beets.

Directions

  • 1. In deep pot, add water and washed beet roots. Boil for 20 minutes or until knife tender. Additional Notes: Alternatively, you can also roasted beets, or braise beets with some stock to enhance their flavor. Check these methods in suggestions above.
  • 2. To make dressing, in a food processor, add tahini paste, garlic, oregano, vinegar, cumin powder, olive oil, and water. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Slice shallots very thin and combine in dressing. Set aside.
  • 3. To assemble salad, peel and slice cooked beets to small bite size pieces. Add beets to bowl with half of dressing, then add chickpeas, fine chopped mint, and half of walnuts. Toss gently to combine. Garnish with few more mint leaves and rest of walnuts. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Serve remaining dressing on the side.
