Prepare the Quinoa
Rinse ½ cup uncooked quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness.
In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the water is absorbed.
Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Roast the Chickpeas
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain and rinse ½ cup canned chickpeas, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Toss chickpeas with ½ tsp olive oil, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp cumin, and ¼ tsp smoked paprika.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.
Steam the Broccoli
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place a steamer basket over it and add 1 cup broccoli florets.
Cover and steam for 5–7 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Green Tahini Dressing
In a blender or food processor, combine tahini, parsley, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, water, salt, pepper, and maple syrup (if using).
Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more water if needed.
Assemble the Bowl
In a large bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, steamed broccoli, roasted chickpeas, and mixed greens.
Add sliced cucumber and top with seaweed salad or salad of your choice.
Drizzle generously with the Green Tahini Dressing.
