Ingredients
  

Tahini Sauce

  • ½ cup tahini, *see note 1
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • salt, to taste

Chickpea Spread

  • 1 ½ cups fresh parsley and cilantro
  • 2 Tablespoons reserved tahini sauce, *from above
  • 30 ounces canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Vegetable Topping

  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced
  • 6 green onion, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh parsley and cilantro
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4-6 lavash flatbread

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl whisk together tahini, water, and minced garlic until smooth. Remove 2 tablespoons of sauce and set aside. Stir lemon juice into remaining sauce and season with salt. If needed, whisk in additional water to thin to a drizzling consistency.
  • In a food processor combine 1½ cups of the herbs and the reserved 2 Tablespoons of sauce. Pulse until finely chopped. Add rinsed and drained chickpeas, cumin, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Pulse to form a coarse spread.
  • In a medium bowl combine halved tomatoes, chopped English cucumber, chopped green onions, and the remaining ½ cup herbs. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss to coat.
  • Lightly toast the lavash flatbread (only toast the bread you will be eating. You can save the rest for later). Spread chickpea mixture on lavash bread. Top with tomato mixture and drizzle with the prepared sauce. Slice into pieces and serve.

Notes

1. If you don’t have tahini, you can substitute it with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or even Greek yogurt with sesame oil for a different flavor.
2. You can substitute lavash with pita, naan, or any other flatbread you prefer. Just make sure it's sturdy enough to hold the toppings. The lavash is perfect for this recipe because it crisps up nicely and makes a great base for the toppings.
3. A mix of parsley and cilantro great, but feel free to use your favorites or what you have on hand. Dill, mint, and basil could also add a nice flavor twist!
