SPINACH AND RADISH SALAD WITH ROASTED CHICKPEAS AND TAHINI DRESSING

March 8, 2016 By DIYBITES

Baby_Spinach_and_Red Radish_Salad_with_Roasted Chickpeas_and_Tahini_Dressing_recipe_DIYBITES

Heyaaa. Check out this sexy salad over here. It’s got everything you ever wished for in a salad. It’s fresh, healthy, zesty, spicy, crunchy, colorful, minty, delicious, aaand pretty. Cuz’ we like our food pretty, don’t we? 😎

The spiciness it’s not a must of you’re not into all that. Just skip the “make it rain with chili flakes all over the place” step. Also, if fresh mint is not available, you can replace it with fresh basil. If none are available, replace with dried mint, but cut down the quantity by half.

I usually pan roast the chick peas when I use them for salads. It just cuts down the cooking time. However, you can oven roast them by drying out the chick peas, tossing them with olive oil and salt, and baking them 200 degrees C/400 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, or until golden. Toss them around every 10 minutes. Don’t use spices before placing them into the oven, as they have a big chance of burning. Instead, mix them with spices after they’re roasted. They make an awesome snack on their own.

So you’ll get a healthy, heavenly, delicious salad in about 25 minutes. Also, per portion, you’ll get 70 mg of vitamin C, 203 mg of Calcium, 21207 IU of vitamin A, 285 µg of folate, 223 mg of phosphorus, 133 mg of magnesium, and 2.2 mg of manganese. Healthy AF ✅.

AVOCADO TZATZIKI SANDWICH WITH RADISH AND BLACK PEPPER

January 25, 2016 By DIYBITES

Avocado-Tzatziki-Sandwich-with-Radish-and-Black-Pepper-DIYBITES

So I opened my fridge, made eye contact with this avocado and he was totally giving me the “put me into a sandwich” look 👀 ✨. And I did. Aaaaand it was pretty much heaven, probably because of the freshly baked bread I got 15 minutes before, and the mix of flavors that almost brought a couple of tears to my eyes.

I used whole wheat mini baguettes for the sandwich, and I would recommend (based on my personal preferences) using a crusty bread. It just makes a better match with the tzatziki and avocado combo. But hey, you can use whatever bread you like the most or whatever bread you have at home. However, if you use sliced bread, toast it for a couple of minutes before using it for the sandwich 👌. If you don’t have one of your own, check out my tzatziki recipe here. It’s SO simple and tastes way better than the store-bought ones. #ikidyounot 😋
