Name: Chickpea Vegetable Bowl with Peanut Dressing
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 1/4 cup peanut butter (or any nut or seed butter); 1 tablespoon sriracha or sambal oelek; 2 limes, juiced (about 1/4 cup of juice); 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional); 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional); Salt, to taste; Water, as needed; 2 cups dried chickpeas (or two cans, drained and rinsed); 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 1 small red cabbage, shredded; 2 large carrots, shredded or grated; 1/3 bunch scallions, chopped; cilantro, to taste (optional); peanuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

This four-serving meal will cost you between $7 and $10 to make. Note: If you are cooking the chickpeas from dried, consider doubling or even tripling the batch you are making and store the cooked chickpeas for later use in the fridge or freezer. They store very well, and cooking in big batches is much more efficient since it takes no more time.
