Chickpea Burger with Israeli Salad

Make the salad by adding all the ingredients in a medium bowl and tossing to combine.

To make the burgers, preheat oven to 400ºF. Place the chickpeas in a shallow bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork. It’s okay to leave it slightly lumpy and textured. Add the tahini sauce, olive oil, breadcrumbs, onion, herbs and seasonings and mix to combine. Form into patties and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes, flip and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes.

You can make the burgers any size you like but I opted to make 2 hearty burgers from this mixture. Top with the salad or serve it as a side dish.
