Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse one can of chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Toss the chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, onion powder, and a sprinkle of salt on a baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer and bake for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- While the chickpeas roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Orecchiette pasta and cook according to the package instructions, around 8-10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, plant-based yogurt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and dill. Gradually add water to reach desired consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chopped cucumber, halved tomatoes, and roasted chickpeas. Pour the tahini dressing over all ingredients and toss to coat.
- Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled. It can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes
