Ras el hanout is a Moroccan spice mix made up of cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, and ground black and red pepper. We use it to season the white beans in this light and delicious salad.
For lunch, this lentil, feta, and apple salad is a filling veggie dish that you can make quickly. You can use drained canned lentils instead of fresh ones to save time. Just make sure to get low-sodium ones and rinse them well before adding them to the salad.
A ground chili sauce called sambal oelek adds heat to this tasty chickpea salad. The crunchy carrots in this easy no-cook meal go well with the creamy chickpeas.
The sweet and sour taste of the figs and the earthy goat cheese will definitely please the taste buds. You could use dried apricots instead of dried figs if you can't find them.
We use chickpeas instead of chicken to make a filling veggie main dish that's great for lunch. Cranberries give it a sweet-sour taste, and the celery and toasted walnuts give it crunch. Put it on top of leafy greens or put it in a burger.
This apple, rice, and kale salad is great for fall. Fresh apples give it a crisp fall taste, and massaging the kale with the sauce makes it break down. Nuts, fennel, and rice give it more texture, and blue cheese makes it taste salty.
