The Ultimate 10-Minute Recipe

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients (2 Minutes):

Start by preparing all the fresh ingredients. Slice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber. If you’re using leftover quinoa or rice, heat it up in the microwave for 1 minute, or you can also use a microwaveable pack for convenience.

2. Sauté the Chickpeas (3-4 Minutes):

In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chickpeas and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are lightly crispy and golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. This step adds a delightful texture to the chickpeas and enhances their flavor.

3. Assemble the Dish (2 Minutes):

In a large bowl, layer the warm quinoa or rice. Top it with the sautéed chickpeas, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. You can arrange these ingredients neatly or simply toss them together for a more casual, mixed approach.

4. Make the Dressing (1 Minute):

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add a bit of water if the dressing is too thick, stirring until you reach a creamy consistency that will drizzle easily over your bowl.

5. Serve and Enjoy (1 Minute):

Drizzle the tahini lemon dressing over your dish, and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
