Ingredients:
Preparation:
Add rinsed quinoa to medium pot and cook according to package instructions.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Toss sweet potatoes and chickpeas in olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
Bake for 20 minutes. Then, add California walnuts to the baking sheet and toss gently. Return to oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender, and walnuts are lightly toasted.
Make the tahini walnut dressing. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy. Add 1-2 tbsp water at a time to thin, if needed. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Divide spring mix among 4 bowls. Top each with quinoa, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, walnuts, and dates. Drizzle with walnut-tahini dressing, garnish with parsley, and serve.
