Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup chopped kale leaves, I like to chop them into really small pieces
- 1 cup thawed green peas
- 1 cup small diced cucumber
- 3/4 cup quartered green grapes
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
- 1/3 cup chopped green olives, capers or pickled jalapeno, or you can use a combination of them
- 1/3 cup chopped pistachios
- 2 large avocados, thinly sliced
- 4–6 large spinach wraps, or your favorite wraps
Green Tahini Dressing:
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1–2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh herbs, I used a mixture of parsley, dill, basil and mint
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Make the dressing: Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor and turn on. Blend until creamy and smooth, 30-60 seconds. Dressing should be light green in color. Taste and adjust any seasonings as needed. Pour dressing into a large bowl.
- Next, add the chickpeas to the bowl and lightly mash with a fork or potato masher, while mixing the dressing into the chickpeas. Next, add the kale, peas, cucumber, green onion, grapes, pistachio and green olives. Mix everything together well and season with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
- Assemble wraps: Heat the tortilla, if needed, and lay it on a flat surface. Add a few slices of avocado and top with a couple of spoonfuls of the chickpea mixture. Use your hands to carefully fold the sides of the wrap in and then roll it up tightly. If desired, you can place the wrap, seam side down, in a frying pan for a few minutes to help it seal. Cut the wrap in half and enjoy with fresh fruit and chips.
