  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • ¼–½ cup water (to thin, as needed)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (whipped)
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Salad

  • 3 heads Artisan Sweet Gem lettuce, chopped

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy and golden.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine basil, mint, dill, cilantro, parsley, cottage cheese, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Slowly add water until the dressing reaches a creamy, pourable consistency.
