I’ve got a fancy one for you this week! This dish had so many different flavors and textures! It was so delicious! Mr. FBBQ even enjoyed it!
So many ingredients! Olivia and Bubbles helped me gather everything. And by everything, I mean: a can of chickpeas, a can of black beans, farro, quinoa, baby spinach, kale, sweet potato, bell peppers, little tomatoes, dried apricots, scallions and a cucumber. For the Creamy Thyme Dressing we need lemon juice, tahini, maple syrup, powdered ginger, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, sea salt, and paprika.
To make the salad, mix the chopped bell peppers, the chickpeas, the black beans, the spinach, the kale, the little tomatoes, the chopped scallions, the sliced cucumber, and the apricots. Add the cooked farro and quinoa.
To make the Creamy Thyme Dressing, add the tahini, water, paprika, ginger, cinnmon, cumin, lemon juice, maple syrup, a clove of garlic, and a dash of sea salt to a blender and puree.
Steam the sweet potatoes and add them to the salad.
Mix everything together. This salad ended up being so huge. Mr.FBBQ had the brilliant idea to use one of his roasting pans to mix it up in. Good call!
Add the dressing and enjoy this colorful, exotic salad!
